More quotes by A. N. Wilson
I don't write books inadvertently.
A. N. Wilson
I had lost faith in biography.
A. N. Wilson
We cannot hope for a society in which formal organized religion dies out. But we can stop behaving as if it was worthy of our collective respect.
A. N. Wilson
In universities and intellectual circles, academics can guarantee themselves popularity - or, which is just as satisfying, unpopularity - by being opinionated rather than by being learned.
A. N. Wilson
The approach of death certainly concentrates the mind.
A. N. Wilson
Truth comes to us mediated by human love.
A. N. Wilson
My belief has come about in large measure because of the lives and examples of people I have known - not the famous, not saints, but friends and relations who have lived, and faced death, in the light of the Resurrection story, or in the quiet acceptance that they have a future after they die.
A. N. Wilson
We tell ourselves that God is dead, when what we mean is that God is Dad, and we wish him dead.
A. N. Wilson

A. N. Wilson
I'm like Jane Austen - I work on the corner of the dining table.
A. N. Wilson

A. N. Wilson
I'm boring. My beliefs are neither here nor there.
A. N. Wilson
This book has been a catalogue of mistakes by politicians, moral and practical disasters which led to wars, enslavement and wretchedness on a scale which no previous age could have dreaded or dreamed of.
A. N. Wilson
I am shy to admit that I have followed the advice given all those years ago by a wise archbishop to a bewildered young man: that moments of unbelief 'don't matter,' that if you return to a practice of the faith, faith will return.
A. N. Wilson
A busybody's work is never done.
A. N. Wilson
The really clever people now want to be lawyers or journalists.
A. N. Wilson
If you read about Mussolini or Stalin or some of these other great monsters of history, they were at it all the time, that they were getting up in the morning very early. They were physically very active. They didn't eat lunch.
A. N. Wilson
Watching a whole cluster of friends, and my own mother, die over quite a short space of time convinced me that purely materialist 'explanations' for our mysterious human existence simply won't do - on an intellectual level.
A. N. Wilson
Tennyson seems to be the patron saint of the wishy washies, which is perhaps why I admire him so much, not only as a poet, but as a man.
A. N. Wilson
I'm not saying all publishers have to be literary, but some interest in books would help.
