Living Soul and Dead Law
March 9, 2007
“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)
The Citadel
February 7, 2007
“The center of every man’s existence is a dream. Death, disease, insanity, are merely material accidents, like a toothache or a twisted ankle. That these brutal forces always besiege and often capture the citadel does not prove that they are the citadel.”
G. K. Chesterton – “Sir Walter Scott,” Twelve Types
