"The self is more distant than any star"

"I am becoming a fan of the fat guy with a cigar who died in 1936."
So says the not-so-simple Ray Visotski in his recent post about C. K. Chesterton.  I have enjoyed, and posted, a number of Chesterton's quotes over the past few years, but Ray is taking it up a notch.  He is reading a book about Chesterton.  Now, why didn't I think of that?  Thanks to the glory that is Amazon, I will be shortly.  Thanks Ray.
