Chesterton in a letter to Mrs. John Lane, writing concerning a group called "The Peckham Ethical Fellowship":

Isn't it too beautiful? I'm sure they come out of a book. I only wish they'd go back into it.

[quoted in G.K. Chesterton: A Biography by Ian Ker, p. 139]

Sorry, but that made me laugh, so I had to share it for some light-hearted fun. :-)
