-- Treat your spouse like the stranger you met on your first date: There are two ways of
getting home; and one of them is to stay there. The other is to walk round the whole world till we
come back to the same place; and I tried to trace such a journey in a story I once wrote. It is,
however, a relief to turn from that topic to another story that I never wrote. Like every book I never
wrote~ It is by far the best book ever written It's only too probable that I shall never write-it,
so I will use it symbolically here; for it was a symbol of the same truth. I conceived it as a
romance of those vast valleys with sloping sides, like those along which the ancient White Horses
of Wessex are scrawled along the flanks of the hills. It concerned some boy whose farm or
cottage stood on such a slope, and who went on his travels to find something, such as the effigy
and grave of some giant; and when he was far enough from home he looked back and saw that
his own farm and kitchen-garden, shining flat on the hill-side like the colours and quarterings of a
shield, were but parts of some such gigantic figure, on which he had always lived, but which was
too large and too close to be seen. That, I think, is a true picture of the progress of any really
independent intelligence today; and that is the point of this book.
-- G. K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man
-- In favor of ordaining a monastic laity
--The Rosary, the Rosary, the Rosary
-- The Mass, the Mass, the Mass
