Gilbert K. Chesterton

The mere brute pleasure of reading the sort of pleasure a cow must have in grazing.

The greenhorn is the ultimate victor in everything; it is he that gets the most out of life.

Journalism largely consists of saying 'Lord Jones is Dead' to people who never knew that Lord Jones was alive.

I used to have nightmares when I was a little kid that I woke up prematurely and opened all the Christmas presents. And then I would be so relieved when I woke up and I realized that I hadn't done it.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

I'm quite content to spend my life helping young people find themselves. I've had my fill of politics.
