More quotes by G.K. Chesterton

"To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless."
"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."
"All we know of the Missing Link is that he is missing - and he won't be missed either."
"I am not absentminded. It is the presence of mind that makes me unaware of everything else."
"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."
