Thank-you for the help.
without worrying about it beyond an attribution.
Well, my only attribution for the quotes was “GKC” (since my LJ friends knew who I was referring to by that). I didn’t post where in his works the quotes were taken from. And on some of them (perhaps including the longer quotes) I forgot even to put “GKC” (though I’m sure anyone reading the entries where I made all those comments with Chesterton quotes could figure out that on the quotes I forgot to give an attribution, that I was quoting “GKC”).
Anyway, I just want to make sure the two quotes I posted earlier in this thread (on November 23) are not too long (especially since the quote on the “Usual article” was about a third of the essay it was taken from, which was one of the essays found in Chesterton’s book The Thing). I wanted to make sure fair use would cover those, because if it did, then I know I wouldn’t need to worry about other quotes, which are all shorter (most of them much shorter).
Like I said, at the time I posted those quotes, I thought the works were in the public domain, and I really don’t wish to go back and have to delete the quotes if I don’t have to.
Which is also why I was wishing to know if anyone knew if they were in the public domain. While The Thing, The Everlasting Man, and St. Thomas Aquinas were all written after 1923, I also noticed that Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong links to online versions of all three books on his Chesterton webpage. Are those books in the public domain, or is simply the case that perhaps someone had special permission to put them online for their own website, or perhaps something else altogether?
Of course, if those two quotes above are covered by fair use, I guess I really don’t need to worry too much about whether the books are in the public domain.
Anyway, if anyone else could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank-you!
