Lemming Tracks: Chesterton Quotes on Bigotry and Lunatic Asylums
From "
Quotations of G. K. Chesterton":
"
...'It is not bigotry to be certain we are right; but it is bigotry to be unable to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong.' - G. K. Chesterton, 'The Catholic Church and Conversion'...."
I'm something of a fan of G. K. Chesterton - as you've probably figured out by now. (A list of posts where I've quoted him is at the end of this one.)
Here's another Chesterton quote:
"
The men who really believe in themselves are all in lunatic asylums."
G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy; p. 14
