"The Catholic Church is like a thick steak, a glass of red wine, and a good cigar."
"Fairy tales are more than true – not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten."
"Do not be so open-minded that your brains fall out."

Joe and Lee look at some quotations commonly attributed to G. K. Chesterton and answer the question: did Chesterton really say that? They also rank the quotations investigated on a tier chart of plausibility. This is a fun one - don't miss it! #chesterton #fakequotes
