This began to be alarming. It looked not so much as if Christianity was bad enough to include any vices, but rather as if any stick was good enough to beat Christianity with. What again could this astonishing thing be which people were so anxious to contradict, that in doing so they did not mind contradicting themselves?
–G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy (pp. 80-81)

Thanks for posting all these great Chesterton quotes. I enjoyed reading Orthodoxy, and it is great to encounter the highlights again on your blog.
