What we need is not the cold acceptance of the world as a compromise,
but some way in which we can heartily hate and heartily love it.
We do not want joy and anger to neutralize each other and produce a
surly contentment; we want a fiercer delight and a fiercer discontent ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
Nothing, again, could be more prosaic and impenetrable than the domestic energies of Miss Diana Duke. But Innocent had somehow blundered on the discovery that her thrifty dressmaking went with a considerable feminine care for dress--the one feminine thing that had never failed her solitary self-respect. In consequence Smith pestered her with a theory (which he really seemed to take seriously) that ladies might combine economy with magnificence if they would draw light chalk patterns on a plain dress and then dust them off again. He set up "Smith's Lightning Dressmaking Company," with two screens, a cardboard placard, and box of bright soft crayons; and Miss Diana actually threw him an abandoned black overall or working dress on which to exercise the talents of a modiste. He promptly produced for her a garment aflame with red and gold sunflowers; she held it up an instant to her shoulders, and looked like an empress. And Arthur Inglewood, some hours afterwards cleaning his bicycle (with his usual air of being inextricably hidden in it), glanced up; and his hot face grew hotter, for Diana stood laughing for one flash in the doorway, and her dark robe was rich with the green and purple of great decorative peacocks, like a secret garden in the "Arabian Nights." A pang too swift to be named pain or pleasure went through his heart like an old-world rapier. He remembered how pretty he thought her years ago, when he was ready to fall in love with anybody; but it was like remembering ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
So strong is tradition that later generations will dream of what they have never seen. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
Morality did not begin by one man saying to another, "I will not hit you if you do not hit me"; there is no trace of such a transaction. There IS a trace of both men having said, "We must not hit each other in the holy place. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
The perplexity of life arises from their being too many interesting things in it for us to be interested properly in any of them; what we call it's triviality is really the tag-ends of numberless tales; ordinary and unmeaning existence is like ten thousand thrilling detective stories mixed up with a spoon. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
In our time the blasphemies are threadbare. Pessimism is now patently, as it always was essentially, more commonplace than piety. Profanity is now more than an affectation - it is a convention. The curse against God is Exercise 1 in the primer of minor poetry. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
I have formed a very clear conception of patriotism. I have generally found it thrust into the foreground by some fellow who has something to hide in the background. I have seen a great deal of patriotism; and I have generally found it the last refuge of the scoundrel. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
The worst judge of all is the man now most ready with his judgments; the ill-educated Christian turning gradually into the ill-tempered agnostic, entangled in the end of a feud of which he never understood the beginning, blighted ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
He said, "If these were silent, the very stones would cry out." Under the impulse of His spirit arose like a clamorous chorus the facades of the mediaeval cathedrals, thronged with shouting faces and open mouths. The prophecy has fulfilled itself: the very stones cry out. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
By insisting specially on the immanence of God we get introspection, self-isolation, quietism, social indifference – Tibet. By insisting specially on the transcendence of God we get wonder, curiosity, moral and political adventure, righteous indignation – Christendom. Insisting that God is inside man, man is always inside himself. By insisting that God transcends man, man has transcended himself. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
I mean,' he said with increasing vehemence, `that if there be a house for me in heaven it will either have a green lamp-post and a hedge, or something quite as positive and personal as a green lamp-post and a hedge. I mean that God bade me love one spot and serve it, and do all things however wild in praise of it, so that this one spot might be a witness against all the infinities and the sophistries, that Paradise is somewhere and not anywhere, is something and not anything. And I would not be so very much surprised if the house in heaven had a real green lamp-post after all. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
Where would a wise man hide a leaf? In the forest. If there were no forest, he would make a forest. And if he wished to hide a dead leaf, he would make a dead forest. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
The act of defending any of the cardinal virtues has today all the exhilaration of a vice. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
The person who is really in revolt is the optimist, who generally lives and dies in a desperate and suicidal effort to persuade other people how good they are. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
What on earth is the current morality, except in its literal sense - the morality that is always running away? ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
A man with no sword can never be beaten in swordmanship. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
How much larger your life would be if your self could become smaller in it; if you could really look at other men with common curiosity and pleasure; if you could see them walking as they are in their sunny sefishness and their virile indifference! You would begin to be interested in them, because they are not interested in you. You would break out of this tiny and tawdry theatre in which your own little plot is always played, and you would find yourself under a freer sky, in a street full of splendid strangers. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
Variability is one of the virtues of a woman. It avoids the crude requirement of polygamy. So long as you have one good wife you are sure to have a spiritual harem. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
The ignorant pronounce it Frood
To cavil or applaud
The well-informed pronounce it Froyd
But I pronounce it Fraud. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
He had that combination of savoir-faire with a sort of well-groomed coarseness which is not uncommon in young doctors. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
There are books showing men how to succeed in everything; they are written by men who cannot even succeed in writing books. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
When you break the big laws, you do not get liberty; you do not even get anarchy. You get the small laws. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
We're all really dependent in nearly everything, and we all make a fuss about being independent in something. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
The one created thing which we cannot look at is the one thing in the light of which we look at everything. Like the sun at noonday, mysticism explains everything else by the blaze of its own victorious invisibility. Detached intellectualism is (in the exact sense of a popular phrase) all moonshine; for it is light without heat, and it is secondary light, reflected from a dead world. But the Greeks were right when they made Apollo the god both of imagination and of sanity; for he was both the patron of poetry and the patron of healing. Of necessary dogmas and a special creed I shall speak later. But that transcendentalism by which all men live has primarily much the position of the sun in the sky. We are conscious of it as of a kind of splendid confusion; it is something both shining and shapeless, at once a blaze and a blur. But the circle of the moon is as clear and unmistakable, as recurrent and inevitable, as the circle of Euclid on a blackboard. For the moon is utterly reasonable; and the moon is the mother of lunatics and has given to them all her name. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
The Church is a house with a hundred gates: and no two men enter at exactly the same angle ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
The sceptics, like bees, give their one sting and die. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
I never discuss anything else except politics and religion. There is nothing else to discuss. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
There are two ways of getting home; and one of them is to stay there. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
The drowsy stillness of the afternoon was shattered by what sounded to his strained senses like G.K. Chesterton falling on a sheet of tin. ~ P.G. Wodehouse
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by P.G. Wodehouse
The great Gaels of Ireland are the men that God made mad,
For all their wars are merry, and all their songs are sad. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
I know that weeds shall grow in it
Faster than men can burn;
And though they scatter now and go,
In some far century, sad and slow,
I have a vision, and I know
The heathen shall return.
They shall not come with warships,
They shall not waste with brands,
But books be all their eating,
And ink be on their hands. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
Somehow one can never manage to be an atheist. ~ G.K. Chesterton
T Tika Vir G K Pek quotes by G.K. Chesterton
The pale leaf falls in pallor, but the green leaf turns to gold; We that have found it good to be young shall find it good to be old; ~ G.K. Chesterton
