Father Brown Quotes:

Inspector Valentine: You'd've made things much easier for us both if you'd told us what you know of Flambeau.
Father Brown: I cannot tell you what I do not know. All I know is that he walks upon two legs and his head grows above his shoulders.
Father Brown: The only visible door leads to nowhere. There must be an invisible door leading somewhere.
Father Brown: It's all so nonsensical, it must make sense.
Lady Warren: What progress have you made?
Father Brown: Looking for a black cat in a coal hole during an eclipse of the sun would be a child's task compared with mine.
Lady Warren: You put me in mind of the child's poem: "As I was walking up the stair, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. I wish that he would go away."
Father Brown: I wish that he would come to stay.
[the contents of Father Brown's pockets are being inventoried by the police]
Patrolman: One Bible.
Father Brown: [Correcting the patrolman] One breviary.
Station sergeant: One... book.
Patrolman: One bar of milk chocolate.
Station sergeant: One bar... of chocolate. Your glasses, please.
Father Brown: Oh. Is that really necessary? I'm as blind as a bat without them. Though I often wonder whether all bats are really blind, any more than all lords drunk or all judges sober.

Father Brown Fact
Alec Guinness was spotted in costume when walking home through the French countryside. A young boy ran up to him, yelling "Mon père! Mon père!" ("My father! My father!") Guinness did not speak French, so he could not correct the young boy's mistake, but was touched that the young boy apparently immediately bonded to him on the assumption that he was a priest. Soon after the film was released, Guinness converted to Catholicism.
