"It is true in a certain sense that some of the greatest writers the world has seen—Aristophanes, Rabelais and Sterne—have written nonsense."--The Defendant (1901) by G. K. Chesterton


"And he proceeded to talk learnedly and luxuriantly on all the wines of the world; on which subject, also, some moralists would consider that he knew too much."--"The Man Who Knew Too Much" (1922) by G. K. Chesterton


Fairy tales are more than true -
not because they tell us dragons exist,
but because they tell us dragons can be beaten.

--G. K. Chesterton
