A man will not roll in the snow for a stream of tendency by which all things fulfill the law of their being. He will not go without food in the name of something, not ourselves, that makes for righteousness. He will do things like this, or pretty nearly like this, under quite a different impulse. He will do these things when he is in love.
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 great Gaels of Ireland are the men that God made mad, For all their wars are merry, and all their songs are sad.
