“Everything has a story tied to its tail”

The imminently quotable G.K. Chesterton:

One can find no meanings in a jungle of skepticism; but the man will find more and more meanings who walks through a forest of doctrine and design.  Here everything has a story tied to its tail, like the tools or pictures in my father’s house; for it is my father’s house.  I end where I began—at the right end.  I have entered at least the gate of all good philosophy.  I have come into my second childhood.

Quoted by Michael Horton in his recommended Gospel-Driven Life, The: Being Good News People in a Bad News World
