Gilbert K. Chesterton
Man is at his tallest when he bows.

Gilbert K. Chesterton
We are talking about an artist and for the enjoyment of the artist the mask must be to some extent moulded on the face. What he makes outside him must correspond to something inside him he can only make his effects out of some of the materials of his soul.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Half a truth is better than no politics.
