A good man's work is effected by doing what he does, a woman's by being what she is.
Gilbert K. ChestertonTo be born into this earth is to be born into uncongenial surroundings, hence to be born into a romance.
Gilbert K. ChestertonThe Byzantines hammered away at their hard and orthodox symbols, because they could not be in a mood to believe that men could take a hint.

Yet all perfect and well-poised art is really a hint.
