G.K. Chesterton
“The thing I hate about an argument is that it always interrupts a discussion.”
G.K. Chesterton

G.K. Chesterton
“Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.”
G. K. Chesterton

G.K. Chesterton
“Always be comic in a tragedy. What the deuce else can you do?”
G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday

William Faulkner
“You get born and you try this and you don't know why only you keep on trying it and you are born at the same time with a lot of other people, all mixed up with them, like trying to, having to, move your arms and legs with strings only the same strings are hitched to all the other arms and legs and the others all trying and they don't know why either except that the strings are all in one another's way like five or six people all trying to make a rug on the same loom only each one wants to weave his own pattern into the rug; and it can't matter, you know that, or the Ones that set up the loom would have arranged things a little better, and yet it must matter because you keep on trying or having to keep on trying and then all of a sudden it's all over.”
William C. Faulkner, Absalom, Absalom!

G.K. Chesterton
“I wish we could sometimes love the characters in real life as we love the characters in romances. There are a great many human souls whom we should accept more kindly, and even appreciate more clearly, if we simply thought of them as people in a story.”
G.K. Chesterton, What I Saw in America
