G. K. Chesterton is amazing. He was not only a great theological writer, but also a writer of mysteries, both humorous and serious poems, and an artist. He wrote about four thousand essays in his lifetime. He also advocated fairy tales, which makes him that much more fantastic.
In fact, he was pure nonsense mixed with a knowledge of what life is really about.
He said that angels could fly because they took themselves lightly. (His pun, not mine) I don't know about you, but I wish I could fly. You can easily find quite a few of his quotes on love, including this one.
He was extraordinarily large, but that never bothered him. He often made jokes about it, and drew a few cartoons about his girth. Reportedly, a lady once asked him during World War I why he was not out at the Front. He replied, "If you'll go 'round to the side, you will see that I am."
He wasn't afraid to make a fool of himself to make others laugh. He believed in dragons. He wrote books on theology. Could there be anything better??? Well, yes, Jesus, but that's true no matter what.
