G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

It may be, Heaven forgive me, that I did try to be original; but I only succeeded in inventing all by myself an inferior copy of the existing traditions of civilized religion. . . . I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy.

[Chapter I, "Introduction in Defence of Everything Else"]
