@BlumeEvolution @flyIng @benny Klassiker von #GKChesterton, einem meiner liebsten Christen: »Die ganze Welt der Moderne hat sich in Konservative und Progressive aufgespalten. Aufgabe der Progressiven ist es, immer weiter Fehler zu begehen, und Aufgabe der Konservativen, zu verhindern, dass Fehler korrigiert werden.«

"It tingled with truth and it divided truth from error with a blade like ice; but all that was left had never felt so much alive. It was as if all joy were a jewel in the heart of an iceberg. The priest hardly understood his own mood as he advanced deeper and deeper into the green gloaming, drinking deeper and deeper draughts of that virginal vivacity of the air. Some forgotten muddle and morbidity seemed to be left behind, or wiped out as the snow had painted out the footprints of the man of blood. As he shuffled homewards through the snow, he muttered to himself: 'And yet he is right enough about there being a white magic, if he only knows where to look for it.'"
- G. K. Chesterton, "The Dagger with Wings"

A quotation from G. K. Chesterson

For there are two ways of dealing with nonsense in this world. One way is to put nonsense in the right place; as when people put nonsense into nursery rhymes. The other is to put nonsense in the wrong place; as when they put it into educational addresses, psychological criticisms, and complaints against nursery rhymes or other normal amusements of mankind.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) English journalist and writer
Essay (1921-10-15), “Child Psychology and Nonsense,” closing words, Illustrated London News, “Our Notebook” column
