"It is easy to be heavy: hard to be light." - GK Chesterton, Orthodoxy
More context around this:
"Angels can fly because they can take themselves lightly."
"It is much easier to write a good Times leading article than a good joke in Punch.
For solemnity flows out of men naturally; but laugher is a leap. It is
easy to be heavy: hard to be light. Satan fell by force of gravity."
