Chesterton Quips is a project to provide a taste of G. K. Chesterton’s writings, both fiction and nonfiction quotations / quotes. Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 - 1936) was an English writer, philosopher, lay theologian, and literary and art critic. He wrote a hundred books, contributions to 200 more, hundreds of poems, five plays, five novels, and some two hundred short stories, including a popular series featuring the priest-detective, Father Brown. In spite of his literary accomplishments, he considered himself primarily a journalist. He wrote over 4000 newspaper essays, including 30 years worth of weekly columns for the Illustrated London News, and 13 years of weekly columns for the Daily News. He also edited his own newspaper, G.K.’s Weekly. Chesterton was equally at ease with literary and social criticism, history, politics, economics, philosophy, and theology. Chesterton routinely referred to himself as an orthodox Christian, and came to identify this position more and more with Catholicism, eventually converting to Roman Catholicism from high church Anglicanism. He has been referred to as the “prince of paradox“. Of his writing style, Time observed: “Whenever possible, Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully turning them inside out.“
