G.K. Chesterton Quote

I have been asked to explain what I meant by saying that Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity. I have no notion when I said it or where I said it, or even whether I said it; in the sense that I do not now remember ever saying it at all. But I do know why I said it; if I ever said it at all.
