Chesterton quotes

Here are a few quotes from the author G. K. Chesterton that I like:

• "The past is not what it was." - A Short History of England
• Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.
• The thing I hate about an argument is that it always interrupts a discussion.
• There is more simplicity in the man who eats caviar on impulse than in the man who eats grape-nuts on principle.
• Blasphemy depends on belief, and is fading with it. If anyone doubts this, let him sit down seriously and try to think blasphemous thoughts about Thor.
• A key has no logic to its shape. Its logic is: it turns the lock.
• The function of the imagination is not to make strange things settled, so much as to make settled things strange.
• Don't ever take a fence down until you know the reason it was put up.
