When the London Times asked a number of writers for essays on the topic "What's Wrong with the World" Chesterton sent in the reply shortest and most to the point:
Dears Sirs,
I am.
Sincerely yours,
G.K. Chesterton
(Forward by Philip Yancey to an edition of Chesterton's Orthodoxy)
Anyway, seriously, the book is a very good book in many ways. Besides having some great quotes (such as couple of Chesterton's most famous: "The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried" and "if a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly"), it has some very thought provoking material.
