Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.
G. K. Chesterton
The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.
G.K. Chesterton
There is the great lesson of 'Beauty and the Beast,' that a thing must be loved before it is lovable.
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
"...when people started seeing that cover [When Dimple Met Rishi] and the conversation that came out of it.

“We say there’s a racial issue going on in this school, and they say, ‘Oh, but I’m a good person.’ But we didn’t say that you’re not a good person, we said there’s a pattern here. So we’re talking across purposes and we’re not hearing each other about the anatomy of racism and how it functions. But to get there, we need to create some safe space where we can have those kinds of conversations, and we need to take some time to get some understanding of what we mean. Like, micro, meso, and macro levels of racial dynamics.” --Anton Treuer
