“The thing I hate about an argument is that it always interrupts a discussion.”

English Christian apologist and writer

Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English Christian apologist and writer. He was a major presence in early 20th-century literature, known for his wit, his fondness for paradox, and his defence of tradition. His work and public writing were shaped by a style that often turned ideas on their head to make a point. He is remembered for arguments grounded in Christian belief and for a voice that was sharp, playful, and attentive to older social and cultural traditions.
