“Man is always something worse or something better than an animal; and a mere argument from animal perfection never touches him at all. Thus, in sex no animal is either chivalrous or obscene. And thus no animal invented anything so bad as drunkeness - or so good as drink.”
- “Wine when it is red” All Things Considered, Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Very nice! I’ll have to pass that one along to my son, who is becoming a bit of a Chesterton aficionado.
