A new experience can be extremely pleasurable, or extremely irritating, or somewhere in between, and you never know until you try it out.

The thing with your heart's desire is that your heart doesn't even know what it desires until it turns up.

I don't know if you've ever noticed this, but first impressions are often entirely wrong. You can look at a painting for the first time, for example, and not like it at all, but after looking at it a little longer you may find it very pleasing. The first time you try Gorgonzola cheese you may find it too strong, but when you are older you may want to eat nothing but Gorgonzola cheese. Klaus, when Sunny was born, did not like her at all, but by the time she was six weeks old the two of them were thick as thieves. Your initial opinion on just about anything may change over time.

Those unable to catalog the past are doomed to repeat it.
