“Somewhere Chesterton writes--I think it is Chesterton--that you cannot reason a man from a position that reason didn’t deliver him to.”
“Such a pity that he [GK Chesterton] became a Catholic.”
“For the critics who think Chesterton frivolous or 'paradoxical' I have to work hard to feel even pity; sympathy is out of the question.”
“You cannot reason people out of a position that they did not reason themselves into.”
“The greatest influence in writing was G. K. Chesterton who never used a useless word, who saw the value of a paradox, and avoided what was trite.”
“Chesterton had an incorrigible and persistent tendency to throw-the-baby-out-with-the-bathwater.”
