Some Food for Thought

I must admit I like G K Chesterton and his wild excursions.

"There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect."

"Reason is always a kind of brute force, those who appeal to the head rather than the heart, however pallid and polite, are necessarily men of violence. We speak of 'touching' a man's heart, but we can do nothing to the head but hit it."

"The guillotine has many sins, but to do it justice, there is nothing evolutionary about it. The favourite evolutionary argument finds its best answer in the axe. The Evolutionist says, "Where do you draw the line?", the Revolutionist answers, "I draw it between your head and body." There must be at any given moment a right and wrong if any blow is to be struck, there must be something eternal if there is to be something sudden."
The last quote reminds me of a French friend who also used to display these revolutionary ideas of demanding some people's heads.
