Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity. - G.K. Chesterton

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

"It [feminism] is mixed up with a muddled idea that women are free when they serve their employers but slaves when they help their husbands."

"I had always felt life first as a story: and if there is a story there is a story-teller"

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

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