` "Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity" `
pickFinished my first book for #Lent2020. This was in some ways a very heavy book - The history of man and the history of Jesus, and how Christianity differs from other religions. In other ways, og was easy, probably because of Chesterton's style, he uses humor, irony and sarcasm, and I LOVE how he compares Christianity to a weird, immortal, single woman. Will def read more Chesterton in the future 😀
The beauty of having to work from home: I can read during my lunch break!🤩😎 #Lent2020
I'm not great when things get unpredictable, and as my country's getting more and more corona victims, I get stressed out. Not because I'm too scared of getting it, but because I hate not knowing what will happen for the foreseeable future. So now I'm going to try to forget about the world of 2020, and to back to Chesterton's thoughts on things from 1925. #lent2020
This might be the best thing I will read the entire semester.

A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it.
If there is one fact we can prove, from the history we know, it is that despotism can be a...late development...and the end of societies that have been highly democratic. A despotism may almost be defined as a tired democracy. As fatigue falls on a community, the citizens are less inclined for that eternal vigilance which has truly been called the price of liberty; and they prefer to arm only one single sentinel to watch the city while they sleep.
