Twelve Types: A Collection of Biographies

Explore 1 quote from Twelve Types: A Collection of Biographies

Reason is always a kind of brute force; those who appeal to the head rather than the heart, however pallid and polite, are necessarily men of violence. We speak of "touching" a man's heart, but we can do nothing to his head but hit it.

G.K. Chesterton
