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)

Our complex theology is only complex when we study it. It is simple when we see it. It can be seen as a whole and loved like a person. The plainest peasant in the smallest church sees it as a single thing, and the greatest Catholic scholar still sees it as the same thing
-Preface of To Modernism and the Christian Church by Francis Woodlock, S.J. (1925)
