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)

To love anything with a reason is to tire of it very soon; to love without a reason is to love for ever.


[The World, quoted in Bush Advocate, Volume XVI, Issue 566, 15 November 1904, Page 3]

The trouble with most people is that they don't know what they want, and they do it in a hurry.

[quoted in Evening Post, Volume CIV, Issue 37, 12 August 1922, Page 18]
