G.K. Chesterton Quotes

If Innocent Is Happy, It Is Because He Is Innocent. If He Can Defy The Conventions, It Is Just Because He Can Keep The Commandments. It Is Just Because He Does Not Want To Kill But To Excite To Life That A Pistol Is Still As Exciting To Him As It Is To A Schoolboy. It Is Just Because He Does Not Want To Steal, Because He Does Not Covet His Neighbour's Goods, That He Has Captured The Trick (oh, How We All Long For It!), The Trick Of Coveting His Own Goods. It Is Just Because He Does Not Want To Commit Adultery That He Achieves The Romance Of Sex; It Is Just Because He Loves One Wife That He Has A Hundred Honeymoons.
