Of all modern notions  the worst is this: that domesticity is dull. Inside the home  they say  is dead decorum and routine  outside is adventure and variety. But the truth is that the home is the only place of liberty  the only spot on earth where a man can alter arrangements suddenly  make an experiment or indulge in a whim. The home is not the one tame place in a world of adventure  it is the one wild place in a world of rules and set tasks.
G. K. Chesterton
