Where everyone always feels at home
“White" British author and poet, Gilbert K. Chesterton said, "is not a mere absence of color. It is a shining and affirmative thing." White, observed Chesterton, was as intense as red and as bold as black. "God paints in many colors; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white."
― Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936)
