Additional quotes by G. K. Chesterton

Yes, he said in a voice indescribable, you are right. I am afraid of him. Therefore I swear by God that I will seek out this man whom I fear until I find him, and strike him on the mouth. If heaven were his throne and the earth his footstool, I swear that I would pull him down.

How? asked the staring Professor. Why?

Because I am afraid of him, said Syme; and no man should leave in the universe anything of which he is afraid.
