Chesterton
attended a literary dinner in [Mark] Twain's honor when the famous American
visited London in 1905, and so we can speculate that the two of them met
and maybe even exchanged witticisms. A book by Chesterton was only
recently discovered in Twain's library and Twain's marginalia are
presently being authenticated, so we might soon discover what Twain
thought of Chesterton.

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)
