Two From Chesterton
"Do not be proud of the fact that your grandmother was shocked at something which you are accustomed to seeing or hearing without being shocked. There are two meanings of the word 'nervous' and it is not even a physical superiority to be actually without nerves. It may mean that your grandmother was an extremely lively and vital animal, and that you are a paralytic." -- ILN, 16 DEC 1933
"That which is large enough for the rich to covet, . . .is large enough for the poor to defend." -- The Napoleon of Notting Hill
