I first began to appreciate his work when I found out that we shared a birthday.
And I also like him because his middle name is Kevin.
Below are some of my fav GKC quotes:
Lying in bed
would be an altogether perfect and supreme experience if only one had a colored
pencil long enough to draw on the ceiling.
Art, like
morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.
A woman uses
her intelligence to find reasons to support her intuition.
Tolerance is
the virtue of the man without convictions.
Man does not
live by soap alone; and hygiene, or even health, is not much good unless you
can take a healthy view of it or, better still, feel a healthy indifference to
it.
The trouble
with always trying to preserve the health of the body is that it is so
difficult to do without destroying the health of the mind.
Christianity
has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not
tried.
To love means
loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means
believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.
The poets
have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.
The whole
object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot
on one's own country as a foreign land.
Courage is
almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the
form of readiness to die.
