“If people must not be taught religion, they might be taught reason, philosophy. If the State must not teach them to pray it might teach them to think. And when I say that children should be taught to think I do not mean (like many moderns) that they should be taught to doubt; for the two processes are not only not the same, but are in many ways opposite. To doubt is only to destroy; to think is to create.”
-G.K. Chesterton

What an excellent quotation!

I so agree with Chesterton’s thoughts on teaching children to think.

When I saw your title, I couldn’t imagine – but when he says to doubt is to destroy, then yes! To think is to create.
I found Empire apples, by the way – the supermarket had them eventually. I repent of all my hysteria. 😀
