Paradox - Truth standing on her head to get attention.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
There are many books which we think we have read when we have not. There are, at least, many that we think we remember when we do not. An original picture was, perhaps, imprinted upon the brain, but it has changed with our own changing minds. We only remember our remembrance.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The Mass is not only about God becoming man, it is about Man becoming more himself.
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
Saint George he was for England, And before he killed the dragon he drank a pint of English ale out of an English flagon.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
