G.K. Chesterton
“That young man with the long, auburn hair and the impudent face - that young man was not really a poet; but surely he was a poem.”
G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare

Anne Frank
“I’m left with one consolation, small though it may be: my fountain pen was cremated, just as I would like to be some day.”
Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition

G.K. Chesterton
“What are we going to do?" asked the Professor.
"At this moment," said Syme, with a scientific detachment, "I think we are going to smash into a lamppost.”
G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare

G.K. Chesterton
“That is his greatness. Caesar and Napoleon put all their genius into being heard of, and they were heard of. He puts all his genius into not being heard of, and he is not heard of. But you cannot be for five minutes in the room with him without feeling that Caesar and Napoleon would have been children in his hands”
G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare

G.K. Chesterton
“An artist is identical with an anarchist,' he cried. 'You might transpose the words anywhere. An anarchist is an artist. The man who throws a bomb is an artist, because he prefers a great moment to everything. He sees how much more valuable is one burst of blazing light, one peal of perfect thunder, than the mere common bodies of a few shapeless policemen. An artist disregards all governments, abolishes all conventions. The poet delights in disorder only. If it were not so, the most poetical thing in the world would be the Underground Railway.'
'So it is,' said Mr. Syme.
'Nonsense!' said Gregory, who was very rational when any one else attempted paradox.”
G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare
