G. K. Chesterton quotes

Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do.

The madman is not the man who has lost his reason. The madman is the man who has lost everything except his reason.

Thinking means connecting things, and stops if they cannot be connected.

Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead.

Angels can fly because they can take themselves lightly.

There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person.
