Weekends with Chesterton

I’m linking up again with Sarah of Amongst Lovely Things today. I find this quote strangely comforting. 

“…the false optimism, the modern happiness, tires us because it tells us we fit into this world.  The true happiness is that we don’t fit.  We come from somewhere else.  We have lost our way.”

--G.K. Chesterton, from “The Ballade of a Strange Town,” Tremendous Trifles

Great quote! My gosh, Chesterton was brilliant, wasn't he?
