“Fantasy is escapism, but wait... Why is this wrong? What are you escaping from, and where are you escaping to? Is the story opening windows or slamming doors? The British author G.K. Chesterton summarized the role of fantasy very well. He said its purpose was to take the everyday, commonplace world and lift it up and turn it around and show it to us from a different perspective, so that once again we see it for the first time and realize how marvelous it is. Fantasy - the ability to envisage the world in many different ways - is one of the skills that make us human.”
― Terry Pratchett

“Writers of history often seek the dramatic over the truth. It is a failing of the profession.”
― Guy Gavriel Kay, Sailing to Sarantium

“To become a Catholic is not to leave off thinking, but to learn how to think.”
― G.K. Chesterton, The Catholic Church and Conversion

“The 1970s was the decade of liberation, of anger at injustice and demands for recognition and rights. But over time, the demand for specific rights degraded into a generalized sense of entitlement, the demand for specific recognition into a generalized demand for attention and the anger at specific injustice into a generalized feeling of grievance and resentment. The result is a culture of entitlement, attention-seeking and complaint.”
― Michael Foley, The Age of Absurdity: Why Modern Life makes it Hard to be Happy
