Dealing with nonsense

Comments Off on Dealing with nonsense

There are two ways of dealing with nonsense in this world.  One way is to put nonsense in the right place; as when people put nonsense into nursery rhymes.  The other is to put nonsense in the wrong place; as when they put it into educational addresses, psychological criticisms, and complaints against nursery rhymes.

G.K. Chesterton, The Illustrated London News, October 15, 1921, quoted in Common Sense 101, p. 108.
