Gilbert Keith Chesterton | Feminism is a muddled idea

"Feminism is a muddled idea that women are free when they serve their employers but slaves when they help their husbands."

Gilbert Keith Chesterton | You cannot love a thing without wanting to fight for it

"You cannot love a thing without wanting to fight for it. You cannot fight without something to fight for. To love a thing without wishing to fight for it is not love at all; it is lust. It may be an airy, philosophical, and disinterested lust; it may be, so to speak, a virgin lust; but it is lust, because it is wholly self-indulgent and invites no attack. On the other hand, fighting for a thing without loving it is not even fighting; it can only be called a kind of horse-play that is occasionally fatal."
