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)

It is is bosh to declare (or, rather, lifelessly to repeat) that
schools of thought must be held sacred because good people belong to
them [...] If truth is a good thing, I suppose error is a
bad one; and if large numbers of nice people are held captive by error
that is all the more reason for destroying the error and setting them
free. The hero of a fairy tale would not hesitate to deliver a hundred
princesses from an enchanter merely because they were very thoroughly
enchanted.
