Un aforisma in lingua originale al giorno



Orthodoxy

Gilbert Keith Chesterton

CHAPTER V.—The Flag of the World

The world is not a lodging-house at Brighton, which we are to leave because it is miserable. It is the fortress of our family, with the flag flying on the turret, and the more miserable it is the less we should leave it. 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.
