Quote of the Day 08.02.11

"The new school of art and thought does indeed wear an air of audacity, and breaks out everywhere into blasphemies, as if it required any courage to say a blasphemy. There is only one thing that requires real courage to say, and that is a truism."

G K Chesterton; "G.F. Watts".

Gotta Love ol' GK. Turns out there is a GK Chesterton Society conference in St Louis this weekend. Wish I could go. I'm not an expert on GKC but I'm sure it would be a hoot.

I actually attended last year in Maryland. Excellent talks. The piece on Edmund Burke was top notch.

In addition to the Chesterton society, I highly recommend the material at Distributist Review.com
