“If a man prefers nothing I can give him nothing.
But nearly all people I have ever met in this western society
in which I live would agree to the general proposition
that we need this life of practical romance;
the combination of something that is strange with something that is secure.
We need so to view the world as to combine an idea of
wonder and an idea of welcome.
We need to be happy in this wonderland without once
being merely comfortable. It is this achievement
of my creed that I shall chiefly pursue in these pages.”
~ G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
