But there is in everything a reasonable division of labour.... - G.K. Chesterton

"I always like a dog so long as he isn't spelled backward."

"A dead thing goes with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it."

"Free verse is like free love; it is a contradiction in terms."

"Surely we cannot take an open question like the supernatural and shut it with a bang, turning the key of the madhouse on all the mystics of history. You cannot take the region of the unknown and calmly say that, though you know nothing about it, you know all the gates are locked. We do not know enough about the unknown to know that it is unknowable."

"There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less."
