Gilbert Keith Chesterton

“An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered.  An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.”

Father Brown 02

Quote from G. K. Chesterton who was an early 20th century British writer, poet, philosopher, dramatist, journalist, orator, lay theologian, art and literary critic and biographer.  Apart from many literary works, Chesterton is well known for his book series of Catholic priest-detective Father Brown.  These books were produced for television by BBC One with Mark Williams in the lead role.
