1908, Gilbert Keith Chesterton, “The Case for the Ephemeral”, in All Things Considered:To introduce into philosophical discussions a sneer at a creed's antiquity is like introducing a sneer at a lady's age. It is caddish because it is irrelevant. The pure modernist is merely a snob; he cannot bear to be a month behind the fashion.
