About this Quote

This quote by William Hazlitt suggests that when we become too knowledgeable about something, our adoration for it can reduce. This is since when we end up being too knowledgeable about something, we can end up being desensitized to it and take it for approved. We may not always establish contempt for it, however our admiration for it can become dulled. This is because when something is new and unfamiliar, it can be exciting and inspiring, but when it becomes too familiar, it can end up being ordinary and ordinary. This quote is a reminder to appreciate the important things we have and to not take them for approved.
