Quotes by and posts relating to one of the most influential authors of the 20th century, G.K. Chesterton
A blog dedicated to providing quotes by and posts relating to one of the most influential (and quotable!) authors of the twentieth century, G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936). If you do not know much about GKC, I suggest visiting the webpage of the American Chesterton Society as well as this wonderful Chesterton Facebook Page by a fellow Chestertonian
I also have created a list detailing examples of the influence of Chesterton if you are interested, that I work on from time to time.
(Moreover, for a list of short GKC quotes, I have created one here, citing the sources)
"...Stevenson had found that the secret of life lies in laughter and humility."
-Heretics (1905) _____________________

Sounds like modern America as well...
The trouble with modern England is not how
many or how few people vote. It is that, however many people vote, a
small ring of administrators do what they please
4 comments:
scary accurate
Unfortunately. :-(
the next part of that quote is even more applicable...
"...Before people can vote against this ring, people must know about it; and the ring has decided people shall not know."
Very true...
Another relevant quote from the same letter:
"Liberty is a spirit, without which vote are useless..."
