Gilbert Keith Chesterton KC*SG (29 May 1874 - 14 June 1936) was an English writer, philosopher, Christian apologist, and literary and art critic. He has been referred to as the "prince of paradox". Of his writing style, Time observed: "Whenever possible, Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories-first carefully turning them inside out." Chesterton created the fictional priest-detective Father Brown, and wrote on a...

Mere light sophistry is the thing that I happen to despise most of all things, and it is perhaps a wholesome fact that this is the thing of which I am generally accused. 'Orthodoxy.' NEW YEAR'S DAY The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose, new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. U...

Rightly or wrongly, it is certain that a man both liberal and chivalric, can and very often does feel a dis-ease and distrust touching those political women we call Suffragettes. Like most other popular sentiments, it is generally wrongly stated even when it is rightly felt. One part of it can be put most shortly thus: that when a woman puts up her fists to a man she is putting herself in the only posture in which he is not afraid of her. He c...

It will be very reasonably asked why I should consent, though upon a sort of challenge, to write even a popular essay in English history, who make no pretence to particular scholarship and am merely a member of the public. The answer is that I know just enough to know one thing: that a history from the standpoint of a member of the public has not been written. What we call the popular histories should rather be called the anti-popular historie...

I cannot understand the people who take literature seriously, but I can love them, and I do. Out of my love I warn them to keep clear of this book. It is a collection of crude and shapeless papers upon current or rather flying subjects, and they must be published pretty much as they stand. They were written, as a rule, at the last moment, they were handed in the moment before it was too late, and I do not think that our commonwealth would have...

A Short History Of England is a book written by G. K. Chesterton which has a beginning of the popular histories are all, nearly without exception, written against the people, and in them, the populace is either ignored or elaborately proved to have been wrong. Green's "A Short History of the English People" seems to have been thought too short for the people to be properly mentioned. There is much in contemporary literature for portraits of me...

A happy and innocent people who were primarily shepherds and farmers formerly resided on an island. Not in an idolatrous manner, but rather as the golden crown of the deity that all such children perceive almost as clearly as the sun, they worshipped the sun. They devised a beautiful Gothic-style cathedral under the new inspiration. But this brilliant scheme was never completely carried out. People who view schoolchildren as just barbaric and ...

A fictional priest and amateur detective named Father Brown had a face once described as round and dull as a Norfolk dumpling. This made him appear somewhat clumsy and naïve, but that didn't take into account his keen understanding of human nature and exceptional intuition. English writer G. K. Chesterton created the character, writing fifty-three short stories over the years and gaining widespread popularity, later on TV as well. All of the s...
