And it is always the humble man who talks too much; the proud man watches himself too closely.
Gilbert K. ChestertonMen may keep a sort of level of good, but no man has ever been able to keep on one level of evil.
Gilbert K. ChestertonPeople accuse journalism of being too personal; but to me it has always seemed far too impersonal. It is charged with tearing away the veils from private life; but it seems to me to be always dropping diaphanous but blinding veils between men and men. The Yellow Press is abused for exposing facts which are private; I wish the Yellow Press did anything so valuable. It is exactly the decisive individual touches that it never gives; and a proof of this is that after one has met a man a million times in the newspapers it is always a complete shock and reversal to meet him in real life.
Gilbert K. ChestertonDear Sir: Regarding your article 'What's Wrong with the World?' I am. Yours truly.
