Dear Sirs,
I am.
Sincerely yours,
G. K. Chesterton
- Chesteron's response to The Times, which asked him (and several other eminent authors) to write essays on the theme "What's Wrong with the World?"
Other witticisms, according to wikipedia:
Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches and weighing around 294 lb. His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he wasn't 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw, 'To look at you, anyone would think there was a famine in England.' Shaw retorted, 'To look at you, anyone would think you caused it.'
Nice to see you have discovered Chesterton. Now try Muggeridge. Papa
