Famous quotes containing the word keith:

    For the great Gaels of Ireland
    Are the men that God made mad,
    For all their wars are merry
    And all their songs are sad.
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    I see in you also there are movements, tremors, tears, desire for
    the melodious,
    I salute your three violinists, endlessly making vibrations,
    Rigid, relentless, capable of going on for ever;
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs.... Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
