Eliot and Chesterton on the New Year
I couldn’t decide between two New Year’s quotes that I thought particularly appropriate for transitioning from 2008 to 2009. So, let’s go with both.
First, T. S. Eliot:
“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language and next year’s words await another voice.”
Second, G. K. Chesterton:
“The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul.”
