Veritas et Sapientia – You Cannot Alter The Place From Which You Came From – G.K. Chesterton

“You may alter the place to which you are going; but you cannot alter the place from which you have come.”

When I had written this down, I felt once again the presence of something else in the discussion:  as a man hears a church bell above the sound of the street.  Something seemed to be saying, “My ideal at least is fixed; for it was fixed before the foundations of the world.  My vision of perfection assuredly cannot be altered; for it is called Eden.  You may alter the place to which you are going; but you cannot alter the place from which you have come.

To the orthodox there must always be a case for revolution; for in the hearts of men God has been put under the feet of Satan. In the upper world hell once rebelled against heaven.  But in this world heaven is rebelling against hell.  For the orthodox there can always be a revolution; for a revolution is a restoration. At any instant you may strike a blow for the perfection which no man has seen since Adam. – G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
