G.K. Chesterton
“It would be no good to tell people they had some good in them, for that is what they were telling themselves all day long. They have to be reminded that they have some bad in them - instinctive idolatries and silent treasons which they always try to forget.”
Chesterton, G. K.

Joseph Conrad
“I am saddened by the modern system of advertising. Whatever evidence it offers of enterprise, ingenuity, impudence, and resource in certain individuals, it proves to my mind the wide prevalence of that form of mental degradation which is called gullibility. [An anarchist]”
Joseph Conrad, A Set of Six

G.K. Chesterton
“Sex and breathing are about the only two things that generally work best when they are least worried about. That, I suppose, is why the same sophisticated age that has poisoned the world with Feminism is also polluting it with Breathing Exercises.”
G. K. Chesterton

Steven J. Lawson
“It was not for the entire world that Christ made atonement, for if He had, all the world would be saved.”
Steven J. Lawson, Foundations of Grace, 1400 BC – AD 100

Nathaniel Hawthorne
“A stale article, if you did it in a good, warm, sunny smile will go off better than a fresh one that you've scowled upon.”
Nathaniel Hawthorne, The House of the Seven Gables
