More wisdom from G.K. Chesterton

 
 
 

I believe in making thousands of things; making jokes, making pictures, making (as distinct from faking) goods, making books, and even articles (of which, as the reader will sadly perceive, there is no end), making toys, making tools, making farms, making homes, making churches, making sacred images; and, incidentally also, making war on people who would prevent me from doing these things.

—G.K. Chesterton

quoted in the book, I Also Had My Hour: An Alternative Autobiography of G.K. Chesterton
