Keith

Famous quotes containing the word keith:

    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)

    The chief assertion of religious morality is that white is a colour. Virtue is not the absence of vices or the avoidance of moral dangers; virtue is a vivid and separate thing, like pain or a particular smell.
    —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)
