“Never let things be seen half finished because deformity sticks in the imagination. To see the tastiest dishes prepared arouses disgust rather than appetite. Take this lesson from Mother Nature who doesn't bring the child to light until it is fit to be seen.”
— Balthasar Gracian 1601 – 1658 CE via Joseph Jacobs, Shan Dao chapter #231
from Art of Worldly Wisdom
