“The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is

to close it again on something solid.”
— G. K. Chesterton

    @David B. Thanks so much

    @Anna When you eat, you close your mouth on solid food. When you become open-minded the goal is to use that open-mindedness to discover and settle on a philosophy that is solid, meaning that it has a framework that is complete and explains life. For Chesterton that would have been Christianity.
