PHILOSOPHY MATTERS ``People care less now for whether they are philosophically right. It is foolish for a philosopher to set fire to another philosopher in a market because they do not agree in their theory of the universe. That was done very frequently in the last decadence of the Middle Ages; and it failed in its purpose. But there is one thing that is infinitely more absurd and unpractical than burning a man for his philosophy. This is the habit of saying that his philosophy does not matter, and this is done universally in the twentieth century.'' — **CHE05** [CHE05] **Gilbert CHESTERTON**, *Heretics*, London: Lane, 1905. #humor #wisdom #philosophy #writing #publishing #quote #meme
