Hi Bonnie, thanks for writing. Here's the story of the quote. A few years ago we gave a friend of ours a gift subscription to Gilbert Magazine:

And now I get occasional mailings from the Chesterton Society. The latest one had this quote, and I was so taken with it, I thought I'd put it on the blog.
I'll answer your comments as soon as I possibly can. Please do come back if you've asked a question. Also, you may comment on any post, no matter how old, and I will see it.
What Chesterton work is that from?
