It IS...Well, I'm glad you liked that quotation! It IS my favourite Chesterton quotation indeed. "What's Wrong with the World" is Chesterton's volume of sociology and his vision of the good society-- he was rather left-wing economically, more in a "Third Way" than a socialist manner.<br /><br />Despite my love of the quotation, maybe the wisdom of Kenny Rogers applies more here--- you gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em-- I do hope you don't stop blogging but maybe a less intense approach is called for, if it becomes drudgery.<br /><br />I'm sorry to see you write that you don't feel you're worth much-- I know it's just an expression of an emotion, but I also know how that feels. For what it's worth, I'm always very impressed by your analytical intelligence, your perception of layers in movies (and in general), your sense of perspective and proportion, and your ability to write academically and yet with literary flair. The latter I hold to be a very rare gift in academe today (and bear in mind I have spent fifteen years in a university library...)!Maolsheachlannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406722311993627528noreply@blogger.com
