Gilbert K. ChestertonWhen the chord of monotony is stretched to its tightest, it breaks with the sound of a song.
Gilbert K. ChestertonI am not absentminded. It is the presence of mind that makes me unaware of everything else.
Gilbert K. ChestertonWhen people impute special vices to the Christian Church, they seem entirely to forget that the world (which is the only other thing there is) has these vices much more. The Church has been cruel; but the world has been much more cruel. The Church has plotted; but the world has plotted much more. The Church has been superstitious; but it has never been so superstitious as the world is when left to itself.
