Famous quotes containing the word keith:
“Our civilization has decided ... that determining the guilt or innocence of men is a thing too important to be trusted to trained men.... When it wants a library catalogued, or the solar system discovered, or any trifle of that kind, it uses up its specialists. But when it wishes anything done which is really serious, it collects twelve of the ordinary men standing round. The same thing was done, if I remember right, by the Founder of Christianity.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (18741936)
“He that hung upon the Torturing Tree
Heard all the crickets singing, and was glad.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (18741936)
“With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devils walking parody
On all four-footed things.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (18741936)
