G.K. Chesterton
“Sólo el ignorante en cosas de la razón puede creer que se razone sin sólidos e indisputables primeros principios.”
G.K. Chesterton, El candor del padre Brown (Literatura universal)

G.K. Chesterton
“But Voltaire, even at his best, really began that modern mood that has blighted all the humanitarianism he honestly supported. He started the horrible habit of helping human beings only through pitying them, and never through respecting them. Through him the oppression of the poor became a sort of cruelty to animals, and the loss of all that mystical sense that to wrong the image of God is to insult the ambassador of a King.”
G.K. Chesterton, As I Was Saying: A Chesterton Reader
