What's Wrong with the World by G.K. Chesterton
5.0
Честертън казва някои неща, които са били верни преди 110 години и си остават, за съжаление, също толкова верни днес. Едно нещо, което никога няма да разбера, е как консервативни кръгове хулят, че бил социалист (въпреки многократните критики към социалистите), сякаш е зло да имаш сърце за бедните. Хъдж и Гъдж умело работят заедно.
"That little urchin with the gold-red hair, whom I have just watched toddling past my house, she shall not be lopped and lamed and altered; her hair shall not be cut short like a convict's; no, all the kingdoms of the earth shall be hacked about and mutilated to suit her. She is the human and sacred image; all around her the social fabric shall sway and split and fall; the pillars of society shall be shaken, and the roofs of ages come rushing down, and not one hair of her head shall be harmed."
