quote (Feb. 2)

"How can we contrive to be at once astonished at the world and yet at home in it?

...we need this life of practical romance: the combination of something that is strange with something that is secure. We so need to view the world as to combine an idea of wonder and an idea of welcome. We need to be happy in this wonderland without once being merely comfortable."

-- G.K. Chesterton, _Orthodoxy_
