Gilbert K. Chesterton

"Imagination does not breed insanity. Exactly what does breed insanity is reason. Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do. Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom. I am not, as will be seen, in any sense attacking logic: I only say that this danger does lie in logic, not in imagination."

"It is quite futile to argue that man is small compared to the cosmos, for man was always small compared to the nearest tree."

Perspective

Gilbert K. Chesterton
"A puddle repeats infinity, and is full of light; nevertheless, if analyzed objectively, a puddle is a piece of dirty water spread very thin on mud."

Nature

Gilbert K. Chesterton
"Job is an optimist. He shakes the pillars of the world and strikes insanely at the heavens; he lashes the stars, but it is not to silence them; it is to make them speak."

Literature

"The modern materialists are not permitted to doubt, they are forbidden to believe."

Philosophy

Gilbert K. Chesterton
"And they that rule in England, in stately conclaves met, alas, alas for England they have no graves as yet."

Politics

Quote_1.png
Gilbert K. Chesterton
"When modern sociologists talk of the necessity of accommodating one's self to the trend of the time, they forget that the trend of the time at its best consists entirely of people who will not accommodate themselves to anything. At its worst it consists of many millions of frightened creatures all accommodating themselves to a trend that is not there. And that is becoming more and more the situation...Every man speaks of public opinion, and means by public opinion, public opinion minus his opinion."

Society

Quote_1.png
Gilbert K. Chesterton
"Once I thought it delightful and astonishing to find a present so big that it only went halfway into the stocking. Now I am delighted and astonished every morning to find a present so big that it takes two stockings to hold it, and then leaves a great deal outside; it is the large and preposterous present of myself."

Self

"The books that influence the world are those that it has not read."

Knowledge

Quote_1.png
Gilbert K. Chesterton
"The word "good" has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man."
