#Word

I have just been reading a little about the life of G.K. Chesterton.
He has been to me, up until this point, one of those mysterious literary figures of which I know not much, save that He is famous for his writings, and has been much quoted by various Christian scholars.

It is not enough for me to understand that someone is famous, without knowing why. In the end, I am always driven to research, and this is one of those times...

I came across a quote, from His work A Miscellany of Men, and it relates so uncannily to the train of thought in my last post, I was honestly amazed.
And inspired to share it here :)

//It is perfectly true that there is something in all good things that is beyond all speech or figure of speech. But it is also true that there is in all good things a perpetual desire for expression and concrete embodiment; and though the attempt to embody it is always inadequate, the attempt is always made. If the idea does not seek to be the word, the chances are that it is an evil idea. If the word is not made flesh it is a bad word//

~G.K. Chesterton

I have a feeling my reading list is about to expand...
