G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936)
"In prosperity, our friends know us. In adversity, we know our friends."
"Do not free a camel of the burden of his hump: you may be freeing him from being a camel."
"A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author."
"Fable is more historical than fact, because fact tells us about one man and fable tells us about a million men."
"The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people."
"While the old man may stand by some stupid custom, the young man always attacks it with some theory that turns out to be equally stupid."
"Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed."
