Gilbert K. Chesterton
To be born into this earth is to be born into uncongenial surroundings, hence to be born into a romance.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Gilbert K. Chesterton
You never know the best about men until you know the worst about them.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Playing as children means playing is the most serious thing in the world.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
If you convey to a woman that something ought to be done, there is always a dreadful danger that she will suddenly do it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
