“Imagination does not breed insanity. Exactly what does breed insanity is reason. Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do. Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom. I am not, as will be seen, in any sense attacking logic: I only say that this danger does lie in logic, not in imagination.”
― G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

“Joy, which was the small publicity of the pagan, is the gigantic secret of the Christian.”
― G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

“Man is more himself, more manlike, when joy is the fundamental thing and grief superficial.”
― G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
