"A man might very well say that he would not be bound by the law of
gravity: yet he would be well advised to keep his affirmation within the sphere
of words. Let him push it to act, and he will no longer be a modern man, but a
corpse, part of that history which in his newness, he so despised."
I thought it was a pretty good summary of the chapter, plus I really liked the quote, in fact it sounds rather Chestertonian to me. Again any suggestions for a discussion will be more than welcome.

Yes, it'd a good summary of the chapter. but for discussion we can take it a little further.
Didn't it seem astonishingly like the one ChesterCon talk, The Limitless Possibilities of Limits???? Especially where the book said, "...there is no such thing as freedom from them, but only freedom within them."???? Then it continues, "And freedom within them can be attained only by one who knows them."
Why do you think freedom can only be exercised by those who know the limits????
