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)

Vice President JD Vance quotes Chesterton

Bishop Barron recently interviewed Vice President J.D. Vance, in the course of which interview, the Vice President quoted GKC. (Well, technically, he quoted the famous "believe in anything" quotation which is often attributed to GKC, though it seems a paraphrase of two different passages from GKC)
