G.K. Chesterton quotes
Great
collection of quotes from a little-known but wonderful writer from the early 1900's
bq. "An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered."
bq. "Among the rich you will never find a really generous man even by accident. They may give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are egotistic, secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money you must be dull enough to want it."
bq. "A detective story generally describes six living men discussing how it is that a man is dead. A modern philosophic story generally describes six dead men discussing how any man can possibly be alive."
bq. "I think the oddest thing about the advanced people is that, while they are always talking about things as problems, they have hardly any notion of what a real problem is."
