"And there is no more subtle truth than that of the everyday phrase about a man 'having his heart in the right place.' It involves the idea of normal proportion; not only does a certain function exist, but it is rightly related to other functions."
- G.K. Chesterton
An excerpt from Orthodoxy, which just so happened to be on my nightstand when i woke up. I had underlined this passage when reading it at some point earlier this summer. I love how Chesterton uses very physical metaphors to describe something divinely profound, in the same fashion of his creator.
