I love GK Chesterton so much.

I just read The Wisdom of Father Brown, a chapter at a time here and there.

Here were the quotes that I actually liked and remembered to highlight

~His theories were extremely complicated and were held with extreme simplicity.

~"What we all dread most," said the priest in a low voice, "is a maze with no centre  That is why atheism is only a nightmare."

~We...said and thought we were in love with each other; at least he certainly said he was, and I certainly thought I was.

~The travellers looked at it with that paradoxical feeling we have when something reminds us of something else, and yet we are certain it is something very different. 

~He could not help, even unconsciously, asking himself all the questions that there were to be asked, and answering as many of them as he could; all that went on like his breathing or circulation  

(This reminded me of several people that I know. my youngest brother among them.)

~For we human beings are used to inappropriate things; we are accustomed to the clatter of the incongruous; it is a tune to which we can go to sleep  If one appropriate thing happens, it wakes uד up like the pang of a perfect chord.
