CHAPTER III.—The Suicide of Thought. It is idle to talk always of the alternative of reason and faith. Reason is itself a matter of faith. It is an act of faith to assert that our thoughts have any relation to reality at all. Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Orthodoxy

C'è un buon motivo per dire la verità; c'è un buon motivo per evitare lo scandalo; ma non c'è possibile difesa per l'uomo che racconta lo scandalo, ma non dice la verità. Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Illustrated London News, 18 luglio 1908

“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.” - G.K. Chesterton

“We men and women are all in the same boat, upon a stormy sea. We owe to each other a terrible and tragic loyalty.” ― G.K. Chesterton, The Collected Works of G.K. Chesterton Volume 28: The Illustrated London News, 1908-1910

The Convert

By G. K. Chesterton After one moment when I bowed my head And the whole world turned over and came upright, And I came out where the old road shone white. I walked the ways and heard what all men said, Forests of tongues, like autumn leaves unshed, Being not unlovable but strange and light; Old riddles and new creeds, not in despite But softly, as men smile about the dead The sages have a hundred maps to give That trace their crawling cosmos like a tree, They rattle reason out through many a sieve That stores the sand and lets the gold go free: And all these things are less than dust to me Because my name is Lazarus and I live.

“Tu ringrazi prima dei pasti. Bene. Ma io dico grazie prima del concerto e dell’opera, prima del gioco e della commedia, quando apro un libro, disegno, dipingo, nuoto, faccio scherma e pugilato, cammino, gioco, ballo e dico grazie quando tuffo la penna nell’inchiostro.”

— Gilbert Keith Chesterton
