It frustrates and fascinates me that we'll never know for sure, that despite the best efforts of historians and scientists and poets, there are some things we'll just never know. What the first song sounded like. How it felt to see the first photograph. Who kissed the first kiss, and if it was any good. Isaac Marion
About This Quote

The quote above is about how there are some things that even the most brilliant minds will never know. It is true, though, that we will never know these things for sure. It is amazing to think about the history of the world, and what it would be like if something else had happened. You could make a great story about it or write a poem or paint a picture or set it to music.

You can’t do that with some things, but you can do it with others. Things that happened long ago, like the first kiss, are far easier to imagine than things that happened just yesterday, like the first person to walk on the moon.
