TUESDAY QUOTE OF THE WEEK CCCXXXVII

FINDING TRUTH WHEREVER IT MAY BE FOUND:  From this month's St. Sebastian Chesterton Society:  from "When Wine Was Red:

QUOTE I:  "If (man) is not the image of God, then he is a disease of the dust.  If it is not true that a divine being fell, then we can only say that one of the animals went entirely off its head.

 

QUOTE II:  "And thus no animal ever invented anything so bad as drunkenness - or so good as drink."

 

QUOTE III:  "In such things to be careless is to be sane: for neither drunkards nor Muslims can be careless about drink."

 

from "Cheese"

QUOTE IV:  "If all the trees were bread and cheese there would be considerable deforestation on any part of England where I was living."

 

QUOTE V:  "You are not approaching Nature in one of her myriad tints of mood as in the holy act of eating cheese."
