“For in truth I believe that the only way to say anything definite is to define it, and all definition is by limitation and exclusion; and that the only way to say something distinct is to say something indistinguishable from everything else. In short, I think that a man does not know what he is saying until he knows what he is not saying.” — G.K. Chesterton
