Gilbert K. Chesterton
  • To be clever enough to get all that money, one must be stupid enough to want it.

  • Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.

  • The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.

  • All slang is metaphor, and all metaphor is poetry.

  • Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around.
