G.K. Chesterton Quotes
The Principle Is This: That In Everything Worth Having, Even In Every Pleasure, There Is A Point Of Pain And Tedium That Must Be Survived, So That The Pleasure May Revive And Endure. The Joy Of Battle Comes After The First Fear Of Death; The Joy Of Reading Virgil Comes After The Bore Of Learning Him; The Glow Of The Seabather Comes After The Icy Shok Of The Sea Bath.
