The Quotable Chesterton

  • Book Review (thanks to BookSneeze who provided me with a copy of this book to review)
  • Wit & Wisdom, March 30, 2012
  • This review is from: The Quotable Chesterton: The Wit and Wisdom of G.K. Chesterton (Paperback)
  • "The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost." Wisdom from Chesterton
  • This book is especially pertinent today, when less people are reading the works of Chesterton than in days past. Chesterton was a great thinker & his quotes are pithy, his humor dry and biting, leaving a thought behind the guffaws.
  • Helpful for writers & speakers, this book has divided the quotes by subject and alphabetized the headings. The endnotes give the actual publication & pg. numbers.
  • I did not realize the depth of his writing until I had read some of these quotes. This is a highly recommended read.
  • "Moderate strength is shown in violence, supreme strength is shown in levity."
  • I received this book from Book Sneeze to review.
