G.K. Chesterton Quotes

We Must Make The Intellectual World Safe For Democracy. But In The Conditions Of Modern Mental Anarchy, Neither That Nor Any Other Ideal Is Safe. Just As Protestants Appealed From Priests To The Bible, And Did Not Realize That The Bible Also Could Be Questioned, So Republicans Appealed From Kings To The People, And Did Not Realize That The People Also Could Be Defied. There Is No End To The Dissolution Of Ideas, The Destruction Of All Tests Of Truth, That Has Become Possible Since Men Abandoned The Attempt To Keep A Central And Civilized Truth, To Contain All Truths And Trace Out And Refute All Errors. Since Then, Each Group Has Taken One Truth At A Time And Spent The Time In Turning It Into A Falsehood. We Have Had Nothing But Movements; Or In Other Words, Monomanias. But The Church Is Not A Movement But A Meeting-place; The Trysting-place Of All The Truths In The World.
