Epigraph
The truth is that when people are in exceptionally high spirits, really
wild with freedom and invention, they always must, and they always
do, create institutions. When men are weary they fall into anarchy; but
while they are gay and vigorous they invariably make rules.
G. K. Chesterton,
The Everlasting Man

When there are fewer options, imagination works better. I
