Keith

Famous quotes containing the word keith:

    The mere brute pleasure of reading—the sort of pleasure a cow must have in grazing.
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    The North is full of tangled things and texts and aching eyes
    And dead is all the innocence of anger and surprise,
    And Christian killeth Christian in a narrow dusty room,
    And Christian dreadeth Christ that hath a newer face of doom,
    And Christian hateth Mary that God kissed in Galilee,
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes—our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking around.
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
