What's the context of this quote? When I search it on Google one of the front page results is actually this HN comment. It's hard to find more information about GK Chesterton's broader point.
- reitanqild 8y agoI guess Chestertons broader point is that avoiding feelings, existing culture etc gives very bad results, exactly like what happened during the French Revolution. Edit: misread the question originally, though it asked about the reason for including it here. Rewrote it to answer the actual question.
