Familiarity quotes

Familiarity is a concept that dwells at the core of our human experience. It is the state of being close, well-acquainted, or intimately connected with something or someone. Familiarity can be found in various aspects of our lives, including relationships, places, and routines. It brings comfort, a sense of belonging, and a deeper understanding of the world around us.

When it comes to relationships, familiarity is often the product of spending time and sharing experiences with others. It creates bonds that grow stronger through the familiarity of shared memories, inside jokes, and a mutual understanding of each other's personalities. Familiarity in relationships fosters trust, empathy, and a sense of security that allows individuals to be their truest selves.

Familiarity can also be found in the places we call home. It is the feeling of walking down familiar streets, breathing in the scent of familiar surroundings, and finding solace in the familiarity of our own personal space. The sense of comfort that comes from familiarity allows us to relax, recharge, and find a sense of stability amidst the chaos of the outside world.

In our daily lives, familiarity manifests itself in routines and habits. From the familiar morning rituals that kickstart our days to the comforting patterns we create in our work and leisure, familiarity provides a sense of structure and predictability. It allows us to navigate through life more effortlessly, as we know what to expect and how to respond.

The man who acquires an encyclopedia does not thereby acquire every line, every paragraph, every page, and every illustration; he acquires the possibility of becoming familiar with one and another of those things.

The only people who know about me are people who would know about me.
I think people perceive my creatures as absurd because they look different, but at the same time, they are a little bit familiar. I want people to feel a kind of empathy with them. When you think about it, all nature is kind of strange looking.. in fact, I'm a strange a looking creature.

Nationalism has two fatal charms for its devotees: It presupposes local self-sufficiency, which is a pleasant and desirable condition, and it suggests, very subtly, a certain personal superiority by reason of one's belonging to a place which is definable and familiar, as against a place that is strange, remote.

Familiarity is the thing-the sense of belonging. It grants exemption from all evil, all shabbiness.
