"Les nouveaux visages ont plus d'autorité que les visages familiers"
— Euripides

Simplified Meaning:
When someone new comes into a group or situation, people often listen to them more closely than to someone they already know. Think of it like this: if you have a friend who always gives advice, you might start to take their words for granted. But when a new person, like a guest speaker at your school or a new manager at work, says the same thing, it feels more important and fresh because you're not used to hearing from them. This newness brings a sense of authority and respect. People naturally pay more attention to new voices, hoping to learn something different or valuable. So, if you're trying to get people to listen to you, sometimes changing the setting or introducing new perspectives can make a big difference.
