Nothing is so remote from us as the thing which is not old enough to be history and not new enough to be news.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Boyhood is a most complex and incomprehensible thing. Even when one has been through it, one does not understand what it was. A man can never quite understand a boy, even when he has been the boy.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The moderns do not realize modernity.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Against a dark sky, all flowers look like fireworks.

Gilbert K. Chesterton
