Keith

Famous quotes containing the word keith:

    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)

    The timidity of the child or the savage is entirely reasonable; they are alarmed at this world, because this world is a very alarming place. They dislike being alone because it is verily and indeed an awful idea to be alone. Barbarians fear the unknown for the same reason that Agnostics worship it—because it is a fact.
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star.
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
