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 always find that the happy and genial hatred we all have for the man on the other side is considerably complicated by the much darker and more desperate dislike which we have for the wrong man on our own side. The right view of everything has a most strange and subtle power of getting stated wrong.
-April 6, 1907, Illustrated London News
