“What we need is not the cold acceptance of the world as a compromise,
but some way in which we can heartily hate and heartily love it.
We do not want joy and anger to neutralize each other and produce a
surly contentment; we want a fiercer delight and a fiercer discontent”
― G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

“Joy, which was the small publicity of the pagan, is the gigantic secret of the Christian.”
― G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

“People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad.”
― Marcel Proust

“if a man would make his world large, he must be always making himself small.”
― G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
