Chesterton: An Acquaintance to Make

There are two ways of getting home; and one of them is to stay there. The other is to walk round the whole world til we come back to the same place; and I tried to trace such a journey in a story I once wrote. It is, however, a relief to turn from that topic to another story that I never wrote. Like every book I never wrote, it is by far the best book that I have ever written.

- G. K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man
