Living Things

April 16, 2007

“Living things must constantly be broken up and destroyed; it is only the dead things than can be left alone.”

G. K. Chesterton – “The Riddle of the Restoration” Lunacy and Letters

“There is a chasm between the man who believes in the soul, in the sense of the will, and the man who only believes in what he calls law, and what I call fate. It is a difference of kind, like the difference between organic and inorganic matter; or, in other words, between dead things and living ones.”

G. K. Chesterton (Illustrated London News Feb. 21, 1925)
