“[L]ooking forward to things is half the pleasure of them. You mayn’t get the things themselves; but nothing can prevent you from having the fun of looking forward to them.” -Anne Shirley, Anne of Green Gables
[There is a cost to anticipation, though. Particularly when the anticipated event doesn't occur. You incur a debt of enjoyment as you experience the anticipation, but if that isn't repaid in an actualized event you have to pay it back with interest as disappointment.]
