One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star.
Gilbert K. ChestertonBefore the gods that made the gods Had seen their sunrise pass, The White Horse of the White Horse Vale Was cut out of the grass.
Gilbert K. ChestertonThe modern world has far too little understanding of the art of keeping young. Its notion of progress has been to pile one thing on top of another, without caring if each thing was crushed in turn. People forgot that the human soul can enjoy a thing most when there is time to think about it and be thankful for it. And by crowding things together they lost the sense of surprise; and surprise is the secret of joy.
Gilbert K. ChestertonSt Thomas (Aqinas) loved books and lived on books... When asked for what he thanked God most, he answered simply, โI have understood every page I ever readโ.
