"...it is not necessary to the child to awaken to the sense of the strange and humorous by giving a man a luminous nose...to the child it is sufficiently strange and humorous to have a nose at all."
G.K. Chesterton*
*Gilbert Keith Chesterton (29 May 1874 – 14 June 1936) was one of the most influential English writers of the 20th century. His prolific and diverse output included philosophy, ontology, poetry, journalism and more.

I love that quote! With my little guy literally growing before my eyes (the teenage thing...) I've been reminiscing so much lately about the precious baby he was, so full of wonder.
