“… the unknown gives us more pain than the known and, since that object frightens us or saddens us or makes us shudder, we do not know how to leave it alone. And even if it disgusts us, we still find a certain desire to put it into some perspective so that we can understand it better.”

— Giacomo Leopardi (1798 – 1837), from “Zibaldone” (originally published in 1898), translated from the Italian by Jonathan Galassi
