    Extractions: My father was an English major at college at the time that I was learning to read. He gave me a reading list, and no, Chesterton wasn't on it, though it seems like everyone else was: Swift, Orwell, Wells, Verne, Defoe, etc. I read everything, although a lot of it I didn't understand. Then when I was thirteen or so I checked out "The Father Brown Omnibus" one day and I was hooked. I'd never read anything like it. I had never read a writer whose writing made me think, "This person knows how to write!" Chesterton was that first find. Chesterton also wrote a column for the Illustrated London News from 1905 until 1936 and I've been reading that for the past four years. That's there I get most of the quotes that I link to below. It gives a different feel to that section of world history. Gilbert Keith ("G.K.") Chesterton was born on May 29th, 1874 on Campden Hill, Kensington (which I gather is in England somewhere). And he wrote, and wrote, and wrote ... cranking out newspaper columns, books, poetry, reviews, etc. At some point (Sunday, July 30, 1922 if you're curious) he converted from the Anglican Church to the Roman Catholic Church, which really ticked off his good friend, George Bernard Shaw. He died on June 14th of 1936, a Tuesday.

    Extractions: 12 June 1936 Gilbert Keith Chesterton (usually called G.K. Chesterton or simply GKC) was born in London in 1874. He became a well-known writer and lecturer. He was officially received into the Roman Catholic Church in 1922, but had been writing from a Romanist point of view for a long time before that. Some of his writing is specifically Roman Catholic, and (in my judgement) he sometimes takes a passing swipe at Protestant positions without troubling to understand them. However, much of his writing is "generic Christian," and is read with profit and delight by many readers, theologically conservative and otherwise, from all branches of Christendom and from none. (C. S. Lewis read him at a time when he was suspicious of most Christian writers, and counts him an influence in his conversion.) Chesterton died 14 June 1936, but is commemorated two days earlier on this calendar because the later days are taken. He also wrote fiction, his best known work being a series of detective short stories featuring a priest, Father Brown, who (somewhat after the matter of the TV sleuth Columbo) tends to give the appearance of being a harmless, bumbling, absent-minded fellow, but who always notices the detail that enables him to solve the case. Often, he connects the reasoning that solves the case with the sort of reasoning that is involved in Christian life.

    Extractions: G K Chesterton has been described as one of the most unjustly neglected writers of our time. Born in 1874, he became a journalist and later began writing books and pamphlets. His work includes novels, literary and social criticism, political papers and spiritual essays in a style characterised by enormous wit, paradox, humility and wonder. He converted to Catholicism in 1922 and he explores the nature of spirituality in many of his books and essays, including the mighty Orthodoxy. Chesterton is one of the few authors who are genuinely timeless and whose work has as much relevance today as when it was written.

    Extractions: He began life, however, as a trainee visual artist. After leaving St. Paul's School in London he attended the Slade School, then the best known and most fashionable of English art schools, and in later years he was able to contribute illustrations to the works of his friend Hilaire Belloc . However he abandoned an artistic career in favour of a journalistic one, contributing to numerous London periodicals and eventually becoming the editor of his own G.K.'s Weekly, the organ of the Distributists' League which advocated the encouragement of small-holdings and a return to what to him was the idyllic life of the medieval tradesmen's guilds. For him the enemy was the ruthless, inhumanity of large scale industrialisation and the arid bureaucratic life it engendered.

    Extractions: (The Man Who Was Thursday, 1908) No animal ever invented anything as bad as drunkenness - or as good as drink. Truth is sacred and if you tell the truth too often nobody will believe it. We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next-door neighbour. Angels fly because they take themselves lightly. You cannot grow a beard in a moment of passion. Half a truth is better than no politics. To be clever enough to get all the money, one must be stupid enough to want it. Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere. I believe in getting into hot water. I think it keeps you clean. Email this page of G. K. Chesterton quotations to a friend.
