Hilaire Belloc
I am writing a book about the Crusades so dull that I can scarcely write it.
Hilaire Belloc
Any subject can be made interesting, and therefore any subject can be made boring.
Hilaire Belloc
It is sometimes necessary to lie damnably in the interests of the nation.
Hilaire Belloc
When friendship disappears then there is a space left open to that awful loneliness of the outside world which is like the cold space between the planets. It is an air in which men perish utterly.
Hilaire Belloc
I said to Heart, How goes it? Heart replied: Right as a Ribstone Pippin! But it lied.
Hilaire Belloc
Under the old philosophy which had governed the high Middle Ages things had been everywhere towards a condition of Society in which property was well distributed throughout the community, and thus the family rendered independent.
Hilaire Belloc
The term Socialism becomes a common label for the various theories of attack upon the principle of property, the various policies of communal control at the expense of the family and individual freedom.
Hilaire Belloc
