As you can see we put one under the name, but I don't want that to be the only one. Well I'll find some place for it on the sidebar.Riahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384657033530822368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29946685.post-1152676108448356912006-07-11T22:48:00.000-05:002006-07-11T22:48:00.000-05:00Hello.

I think it's great and you gals certainly seem to have your acts together. <BR/><BR/>My suggestion for a quote: "It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged." <BR/><BR/>:-)Sean P.

The "last and wildest" is very good, and kind of a tribute to what we are doing as Chestertonians; the second is just hilarious, though I must point out that GKC did write an essay on what he found in his pockets - which is in <I>Tremendous Trifles</I> in case you were wondering - which is where that second quote comes from, in the essay called "A Piece of Chalk". And the first quote is from <I>Heretics</I> CW1:75.Dr. Thursdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666301445831509481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29946685.post-1150944186695643622006-06-21T21:43:00.000-05:002006-06-21T21:43:00.000-05:00I hadn't heard the first quote before (I like it) ...I hadn't heard the first quote before (I like it) but I had heard the second one before and forgot about it, I love that quote!!!!<BR/>By the way would you be interested in joining this blog??????

I have two quotes that I especially like, so I thought I’d suggest them, although I’m not sure if they’d be appropriate for theme quotes.<BR/><BR/>“He has come to the most dreadful conclusion a literary man can come to, the conclusion that the ordinary view is the right one. It is only the last and wildest kind of courage that can stand on a tower before ten thousand people and tell them that twice two is four.”<BR/><BR/>“Once I planned to write a book entirely about the things in my pocket. But I found it would be too long; and the age of the great epics is past.”<BR/><BR/>I’m looking forward to this blog. It sounds like lots of fun!REDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16036670273788375590noreply@blogger.com
