More quotes by G.K. Chesterton

"Great truths can only be forgotten and can never be falsified."
"Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity."
"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 is the great lesson of 'Beauty and the Beast,' that a thing must be loved before it is lovable."
"It is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it."
