'A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.'
Quotes by G K Chesterton
‘There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read.'
A good novel tells us the truth about its hero, but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.
'Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity.'
'The Iliad is only great because all life is a battle, the Odyssey because all life is a journey, the Book of Job because all life is a riddle.'
