"MAN IS AN exception, whatever else he is. If he is not the image of God, then he is a disease of the dust. If it is not true that a divine being fell, then we can only say that one of the animals went entirely off its head."

G.K. Chesterton, All Things Considered, chapter 28, “Wine When It Is Red” (London: Methuen & Co., 1908), 232–33.
