G.K. Chesterton
“Truth is sacred; and if you tell the truth too often nobody will believe it.”
G.K. Chesterton

G.K. Chesterton
“Paradox - Truth standing on her head to get attention.”
G.K. Chesterton

C.S. Lewis
“I believe that any Christian who is qualified to write a good popular book on any
science may do much more by that than by any direct apologetic work…. We can
make people often attend to the Christian point of view for half an hour or so; but
the moment they have gone away from our lecture or laid down our article, they
are plunged back into a world where the opposite position is taken for granted….
What we want is not more little books about Christianity, but more little books by
Christians on other subjects—with their Christianity latent. You can see this most
easily if you look at it the other way around. Our faith is not very likely to be
shaken by any book on Hinduism. But if whenever we read an elementary book
on Geology, Botany, Politics, or Astronomy, we found that its implications were
Hindu, that would shake us. It is not the books written in direct defense of
Materialism that make the modern man a materialist; it is the materialistic
assumptions in all the other books. In the same way, it is not books on
Christianity that will really trouble him. But he would be troubled if, whenever he
wanted a cheap popular introduction to some science, the best work on the
market was always by a Christian.”
C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock: Essays on Theology and Ethics

G.K. Chesterton
“Satan fell by the force of gravity.”
G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

A.A. Milne
“Good judgment comes from experience, and experience - well, that comes from poor judgment.”
A.A.Milne
