April 13, 2021 Magic by GK Chesterton
"I shall deliberately destroy your credit as an essayist, as a journalist, as a critic, as a Liberal, as everything that offers your laziness as a refuge, until starvation and shame drive you to serious dramatic parturition.

--George Bernard Shaw to GK Chesterton in a March 1908 letter.
