Gilbert K. Chesterton
You don't want to be so open minded that your brains fall out!
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The hands that had made the sun and stars were too small to reach the huge heads of the cattle. Upon this paradox, we might almost say upon this jest, all the literature of our faith is founded.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
It is better to speak wisdom foolishly like the saints than to speak folly wisely like the deans.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Gilbert K. Chesterton
Every remedy is a desperate remedy. Every cure is a miraculous cure. Curing a madman is not arguing with a philosopher it is casting out a devil.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
It seems a pity that psychology has destroyed all our knowledge of human nature.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
According to most philosophers, God in making the world enslaved it. According to Christianity, in making it, He set it free. God had written, not so much a poem, but rather a play a play he had planned as perfect, but which had necessarily been left to human actors and stage-managers, who had since made a great mess of it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Comradeship is quite a different thing from friendship. . .
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Every true artist feels that he is touching transcendental truths that his images are shadows of things seen through the veil.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden heaven is a playground.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Men in England are ruled, at this minute by the clock, by brutes who refuse them bread, by liars who refuse them news, and by fools who cannot govern, and therefore wish to enslave.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
