“But
there are some people, nevertheless—and I am one of them—who
think that the most practical and important thing about a man is still
his view of the universe. We think that for a landlady considering a lodger,
it is important to know his income, but still more important to know his
philosophy. We think that for a general about to fight an enemy, it is
important to know the enemy’s numbers, but still more important
to know the enemy’s philosophy. We think the question is not whether
the theory of the cosmos affects matters, but whether, in the long run,
anything else affects them.”
— G. K. Chesterton, Heretics
