Si no me equivoco, estos dos asuntos -típicas ocurrencias de GKCh-, son complementarios:


"The Iliad is only great because all life is a battle, the Odyssey because all life is a journey, the Book of Job because all life is a riddle."
(The Defendant)

"And my haunting instinct that somehow good was not merely a tool to be used, but a relic to be guarded, like the goods from Crusoe's ship -even that had been the wild whisper of something originally wise, for, according to Christianity, we were indeed the survivors of a wreck, the crew of a golden ship that had gone down before the beginning of the world. (...) I knew now why grass has always seemed to me as queer as the green beard of a giant, and why I could feel homesick at home."
(Orthodoxy)
