“Once I planned to write a book of poems entirely about the things in my pockets. But I found it would be too long; and the age of the great epics is past”
― G.K. Chesterton, Tremendous Trifles

“Ten thousand women marched through the streets shouting, 'We will not be dictated to,' and went off and became stenographers.”
― G.K. Chesterton

“The real great man is the man who makes every man feel great.”
― G.K. Chesterton

“The modern habit of saying "This is my opinion, but I may be wrong" is entirely irrational. If I say that it may be wrong, I say that is not my opinion. The modern habit of saying "Every man has a different philosophy; this is my philosophy and it suits me" – the habit of saying this is mere weak-mindedness. A cosmic philosophy is not constructed to fit a man; a cosmic philosophy is constructed to fit a cosmos. A man can no more possess a private religion than he can possess a private sun and moon.”
― G.K. Chesterton
