G.K. Chesterton Quotes

It Is Because The Critics Are Not Detached That They Do Not See This Detachment; It Is Because They Are Not Looking At Things In A Dry Light That They Cannot See The Difference Between Black And White. It Is Because They Are In A Particular Mood Of Reaction And Revolt That They Have A Motive For Making Out That All The White Is Dirty Grey And The Black Not So Black As It Is Painted. I Do Not Say There Are Not Human Excuses For Their Revolt; I Do Not Say It Is Not In Some Ways Sympathetic; What I Say Is That It Is Not In Any Way Scientific. An Iconoclast May Be Indignant; An Iconoclast May Be Justly Indignant; But An Iconoclast Is Not Impartial. And It Is Stark Hypocrisy To Pretend That Nine-tenths Of The Higher Critics And Scientific Evolutionists And Professors Of Comparative Religion Are In The Least Impartial. Why Should They Be Impartial, What Is Being Impartial, When The Whole World Is At War About Whether One Thing Is A Devouring Superstition Or A Divine Hope?
