A quote about books

The quote that i have chosen for my is, "A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author". The man behind the quote is named G. K. Chesteron, full name Gilbert Keith Chesteron. Gilbert Keith was an English writer who wrote around 80 books, about 700 poems, 200 short stories, several plays and 4000 essays. Chesteron was born on May 29th 1874, in Campden Hill in Kensington, London. This author also passed away on June 14th 1936, at the age of 62. He wasn't the most well-known author but he reflects his options and beliefs well. Known poems such as "Lapanto" and as well as "The Rolling English Road" would fairly be his most popular creations. Chesteron had his own style and his thinking was all his own. Basically, he wrote anything and everything that popped into his head. He also had people who opposed his work. He had something to say to another author named Oscar Wilde. In one of Chesteron's books, he said "The same lesson [of the pessimistic pleasure-seeker] was taught by the very powerful and very desolate philosophy of Oscar Wilde. It is the carpe diem religion; but the carpe diem religion is not the religion of happy people, but of very unhappy people. Great joy does not gather the rosebuds while it may; its eyes are fixed on the immortal rose which Dante saw". I chose this quote because it stated something that i believe is correct. It states that it(the book) depends on the authors skill of writing and the story of the book. It tells us the author's background and how the author expresses his mind. You could emotionally feel the way the author feels as you read his/her novels.
