21. Aesthetics / A. Aesthetic Experience / 4. Beauty

12925	Beauty increases with familiarity [Leibniz]
	Full Idea: The more one is familiar with things, the more beautiful one finds them.
	From: Gottfried Leibniz (Letters to Antoine Arnauld [1686], 1688.01.4/14)
	A reaction: This is always the reply given to those who say that science kills our sense of beauty. The first step in aesthetic life is certainly to really really pay attention to things.
