-The Secret of Father Brown (1927)
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)

No man’s really any good till he knows how
bad he is, or might be; till he’s realized exactly how much
right he has to all this snobbery, and sneering, and talking about
‘criminals,’ as if they were apes in a forest ten
thousand miles away; till he’s got rid of all the dirty
self-deception of talking about low types and deficient skulls;
till he’s squeezed out of his soul the last drop of the oil
of the Pharisees; till his only hope is somehow or other to have
captured one criminal, and kept him safe and sane under his own
hat.
