“Because children have
abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they
want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, ‘Do it again’; and the
grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are
not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to
exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, ‘Do it again’ to
the sun; and every evening, ‘Do it again’ to the moon. It may not be automatic
necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy
separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that he has the
eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father
is younger than we.” -G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy*
