ol' chesterton was great!
in one of george weigel's book i think he jokingly said that to chesterton the meaning of life was beer and thick steaks or something like that.

I thought I remember Rush reading a piece of his work on the air about a year ago, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone remember it or know the title?

I thought I remember Rush reading a piece of his work on the air about a year ago, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone remember it or know the title? Do you remember the topic matter? I think a transcript was posted here before.
I came across a witty GKC line on FR back in 1998. Then I wandered over to Chesterton.org and read everything else by him. Changed my life. He's worth half of the television punditry today.

Not Exactly, but I thought he was using a paradox to show that someone who is close to death, would have the greatest value of life. I apologize if I am confusing this with another author, but I thought it to be well written and worth another read.

"Changed my life." That puts you in pretty good company...CS Lewis described Chesterton's Everlasting Man as the primary motivation behind his embrace of Christianity as an adult.
