Chesterton “fought unbelief effectively, but he always fought like a cavalier and never like a thug with a wart on his nose.”
Chestertonian Calvinism, p. 35

When Art Came Down
“What did painting the medieval period take for its subjects? Well, pretty much anybody with a halo. The holy family, Madonna and child, the twelves apostles, and so on. Now do not take me wrong.

A girl reading a letter, a woman making lace, another woman pouring something from a jug, a girl with an earring, another girl smirking, still life table settings, an anatomy lecture with a cadaver. In short, art came down and dwelt among the people . . . just as the Lord had done.”
