"Writing about the defiant and flamboyant G.K. Chesterton is fraught. It requires quoting him, and then one quotation piles upon another, and it seems a disservice to the reader for the author to interrupt Chesterton's words with his own. So what results is a compendium of quotations, more a small anthology than an article.
