Gilbert K. Chesterton
What life and death may be to a turkey is not my business but the soul of Scrooge and the body of Cratchit are my business.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

The point is not that this world is too sad to love or too glad not to love the point is that when you do love a thing, its gladness is a reason for loving it, and its sadness a reason for loving it more.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
A thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed but a thing created is loved before it exists.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
