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)

"I'm beginning quite to like water," said the taller of
the two knights. "I used to think it a most dangerous
drink. In theory, of course, it ought only to be given
to people who are fainting. It's really good for them,
much better than brandy. Besides, think of wasting
good brandy on people who are fainting! But I don't
go so far as I did; I shouldn't insist on a doctor's
prescription before I allow people water. That was
the too severe morality of youth; that was my
innocence and goodness. I thought that if I fell once,
water-drinking might become a habit. But I do see
the good side of water now. How good it is when
you're really thirsty, how it glitters and gurgles! How
alive it is! After all, it's the best of drinks, after
the other.
