I’ve been following this link-up because G.K. Chesterton is awesome, and finding ways to work more of him into my day is refreshing, though sometimes I truly don’t get him. Even at times like those, though, his perspective and interest in things – often just truly ordinary things – have been inspiring and thought-provoking, and they make me more appreciative of my life, just as it is.
I haven’t actually been linking up, because I’ve been listening to audio recordings of What’s Wrong With the World, which is plenty quotable, but I’m usually in the middle of a workout whilst listening. Or doing laundry. Or driving somewhere. Hard to make note of quotes at times like those. But this week I’ve been reading Tremendous Trifles on my Kindle, and I’ve highlighted 17,000 awesome quotes. I’m not going to share them all, but in honor of the just-passed celebration of St. Valentine’s Day, I give you this:
“It is definitely true that the stronger the love of both lovers, the stronger will be the happiness.”
-- G.K. Chesterton
It seems obvious, but I don’t think that’s how I think about love most of the time. Lots to ponder.
If you’re looking for more Chesterton, lots of quotes here.

I said to the kids, "Look at Baby Michael!" They immediately started singing, "Baby Michael, Baby Michael, riding..."
Goodness, I think that's pretty true of everything Chestertonian- it seems so common sense and obvious, but we're not all that common sensical, so we have to really ponder! That's been my experience so far, anyway.
I'm so glad you linked up! :)
I find the same problem when I am listening or reading aloud......and now I Google quotes from "whatever" and I usually find ones I wanted. Just an idea that works for me.....
I love your quote choice this week!
