A dead thing goes with the stream, but only a living thing c... - G.K. Chesterton

"The Reformer is always right about what's wrong. However, he's often wrong about what is right."

"I am not absentminded. It is the presence of mind that makes me unaware of everything else."

"There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and a tired man who wants a book to read."

"But there is in everything a reasonable division of labour. I have written the book, and nothing on earth would induce me to read it."

"Great truths can only be forgotten and can never be falsified."
