“At the end of the day, refined hedonism just creates snobs. Sure, they don’t find their pleasures in carousing, snorting cocaine, chasing skirts, and whatnot, but rather in taking a stroll through a miniature Japanese garden on a pleasant summer evening, in order to contemplate geometric proofs and chess moves of a higher order. And they are insufferable.”
Chestertonian Calvinism, p. 39
