"Eugenics and Other Evils," by G.K. Chesterton, published in 1922.
Chapter 8 -- The End of the Household Gods:
"The only place where it is possible to find an echo of the mind of the English masses is either in conversation or in comic songs. The latter are obviously the more dubious; but they are the only things recorded and quotable that come anywhere near it."
Chapter 9 -- A Short Chapter:
"Eugenics and Other Evils," by G.K. Chesterton, published in 1922.
Chapter 7 -- The Transformation of Socialism:
"Socialism is one of the simplest ideas in the world. It has always puzzled me how there came to be so much bewilderment and misunderstanding and miserable mutual slander about it. At one time I agreed with Socialism, because it was simple. Now I disagree with Socialism, because it is too simple."

Chapter 6 -- The Eclipse of Liberty:
"If such a thing as the Eugenic sociology had been suggested in the period from Fox to Gladstone, it would have been far more fiercely repudiated by the reformers than by the Conservatives."

Chapter 5 --The Meanness of the Motive:
"Now, if any ask whether it be imaginable that an ordinary man of the wealthier type should analyse the problem or conceive the plan, the inhumanly far-seeing plan, as I have set it forth, the answer is: "Certainly not." Many rich employers are too generous to do such a thing; many are too stupid to know what they are doing."

Chapter 4 -- The Vengeance of the Flesh:
"By a quaint paradox, we generally miss the meaning of simple stories because we are not subtle enough to understand their simplicity."

Chapter 3 -- True History of a Eugenist:
"He does not live in a dark lonely tower by the sea, from which are heard the screams of vivisected men and women. On the contrary, he lives in Mayfair."

Part 2 -- The Real Aim
Chapter 1 -- The Impotence of Impenitence
"The root formula of an epoch is always an unwritten law, just as the law that is the first of all laws, that which protects life from the murderer, is written nowhere in the Statute Book."

"Eugenics and Other Evils," by G.K. Chesterton, published in 1922.
Chapter 8 -- A Summary of a False Theory:
"I have up to this point treated the Eugenists, I hope, as seriously as they treat themselves. I have attempted an analysis of their theory as if it were an utterly abstract and disinterested theory; and so considered, there seems to be very little left of it."

Chapter 7 -- The Established Church of Doubt:
"Let us now finally consider what the honest Eugenists do mean, since it has become increasingly evident that they cannot mean what they say."

Chapter 6 -- The Unanswered Challenge:
"Dr. Saleeby did me the honour of referring to me in one of his addresses on this subject, and said that even I cannot produce any but a feeble-minded child from a feeble-minded ancestry. To which I reply, first of all, that he cannot produce a feeble-minded child. The whole point of our contention is that this phrase conveys n...

Chapter 5 - The Flying Authority:
"It happened one day that an atheist and a man were standing together on a doorstep; and the atheist said, "It is raining." To which the man replied, "What is raining?": which question was the beginning of a violent quarrel and a lasting friendship."

Chapter 4 -- The Lunatic and the Law:
"The modern evil, we have said, greatly turns on this: that people do not see that the exception proves the rule. Thus it may or may not be right to kill a murderer; but it can only conceivably be right to kill a murderer because it is wrong to kill a man."

Chapter 3 -- The Anarchy from Above:
"A silent anarchy is eating out our society. I must pause upon the expression; because the true nature of anarchy is mostly misapprehended."
