Gilbert K. Chesterton
Just the other day in the Underground I enjoyed the pleasure of offering my seat to three ladies.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
The function of the imagination is not to make strange things settled, so much as to make settled things strange.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
We have had no good comic operas of late, because the real world has been more comic than any possible opera.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Science boasts of the distance of its stars of the terrific remoteness of the things of which it has to speak. But poetry and religion always insist upon the proximity, the almost menacing closeness of the things with which they are concerned. Always the Kingdom of Heaven is At Hand.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Literature is a luxury fiction is a necessity.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
