More From Gilbert K. Chesterton
- "Men always talk about the most important things to perfect strangers. In the perfect stranger we perceive man himself; the image of a God is not disguised by resemblances to an uncle or doubts of wisdom of a mustache."
- "Science in the modern world has many uses; its chief use, however, is to provide long words to cover the errors of the rich."
- "A man who says that no patriot should attack the war until it is over… is saying no good son should warn his mother of a cliff until she has fallen."

- "I do not suppose I shall be remembered for anything. But I don’t think about my work in those terms. It is just as vulgar to work for the sake of posterity as to work for the sake of money."― Orson Welles
