G. K. Chesterton, The Everyman Chesterton, edited and introduced by Ian Ker (New York: Everyman's Library/Knopf, 2011). (From 'The Suicide of Thought': "[The] peril is that the human intellect is free to destroy itself. Just as one generation could prevent the very existence of the next generation, by entering a monastery or jumping into the sea, so one set of thinkers can in some degree prevent further thinking by teaching the next generation that there is no validity in any human thought..." Id. at 284, 285. "There is a thought that stops thought. That is the only thought that ought to be stopped." Id. at 286.).
