More quotes by A. N. Wilson
In the 18th century, James Hargreaves invented the Spinning Jenny, and Richard Arkwright pioneered the water-propelled spinning frame which led to the mass production of cotton. This was truly revolutionary. The cotton manufacturers created a whole new class of people - the urban proletariat. The structure of society itself would never be the same.

The latest research has revealed that women have a higher IQ than men.
A. N. Wilson

A. N. Wilson

A. N. Wilson
I'm like Jane Austen - I work on the corner of the dining table.
A. N. Wilson
When Christians start thinking about Jesus, things start breaking down, they lose their faith. It's perfectly possible to go to church every Sunday and not ask any questions, just because you like it as a way of life. They fear that if they ask questions they'll lose their Christ, the very linchpin of their religion.
A. N. Wilson
History does not eliminate grievances. It lays them down like landmines.
A. N. Wilson
I should prefer to have a politician who regularly went to a massage parlour than one who promised a laptop computer for every teacher.
A. N. Wilson
I don't write books inadvertently.
A. N. Wilson
I'm not saying all publishers have to be literary, but some interest in books would help.
A. N. Wilson
It is hard to think of anything which more tragically and clearly exemplifies the phenomenon of good political intentions achieving the precise opposite of their aim.
A. N. Wilson
I had lost faith in biography.
A. N. Wilson
I think one of the very frightening things about the regime of the National Socialists is that it made people happy.
A. N. Wilson
I was once naïve enough to ask the late Duke of Devonshire why he liked the town of Eastbourne. He replied with a self-deprecating shrug that one of the things he liked was that he owned it.
