Quote by Samuel Johnson
The luster of diamonds is invigorated by the interposition of dark

The luster of diamonds is invigorated by the interposition of darker bodies; the lights of a picture are created by the shades; the highest pleasure which nature has indulged to sensitive perception is that of rest after fatigue. – Samuel Johnson
