Keith

Famous quotes containing the word keith:

    Compromise used to mean that half a loaf was better than no bread. Among modern statesmen it really seems to mean that half a loaf is better than a whole loaf.
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    When you have really exhausted an experience you always reverence and love it. The two things that nearly all of us have thoroughly and really been through are childhood and youth. And though we would not have them back again on any account, we feel that they are both beautiful, because we have drunk them dry.
    —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)
