“Man is an exception, whatever else he is. If he is not the image of God, then he is a disease of the dust. If it is not true that a divine being fell, then we can only say that one of the animals went entirely off its head.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“See where she comes, apparelled like the spring.
Graces her subjects, and her thoughts the king
Of every virtue gives renown to men.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
