Additional quotes by G.K. Chesterton
Meaninglessness does not come from being weary of pain. Meaninglessness comes from being weary of pleasure.
"But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again" to the sun.; and every evening, "Do it again" to the moon. It may not be automatic monotony that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never gotten tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we."
Progress should mean that we are always changing the world to fit the vision, instead we are always changing the vision.
