Romance in the Unknown

There was romance in the unknown, but once a place had been discovered and cataloged and mapped, it was diminished, just another dusty fact in a book, sapped of mystery. So maybe it was better to leave a few spots on the map blank. To let the world keep a little of its magic, rather than forcing it to divulge every last secret. 

Ransom Riggs in “Hollow City”

The unknown can be so attractive and exciting but unfortunately that can change when you lose the mystery.
