More quotes by A. N. Wilson
I'm boring. My beliefs are neither here nor there.
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
As Hitler himself later enunciated, it matters not how idiotic the creed, what matters is the firmness with which it is enunciated.
A. N. Wilson
I'm not saying all publishers have to be literary, but some interest in books would help.
A. N. Wilson
The Royal Family are not like you and me. They live in houses so big that you can walk round all day and never need to meet your spouse. The Queen and Prince Philip have never shared a bedroom in their lives. They don't even have breakfast together.
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

A. N. Wilson
Millions of Christians can and do go through life attending church, listening to sermons, reciting the creeds and never confront the seeming contradictions, redaction and myths passed off as verifiable history.
A. N. Wilson
Brain power improves by brain use, just as our bodily strength grows with exercise. And there is no doubt that a large proportion of the female population, from school days to late middle age, now have very complicated lives indeed.
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
A busybody's work is never done.
A. N. Wilson
I believe the collapse of the House of Windsor is tied in with the collapse of the Church of England.
A. N. Wilson
IQ in general has improved since tests first began. Psychologists think that this is because modern life becomes ever more complicated.
A. N. Wilson
The really clever people now want to be lawyers or journalists.
A. N. Wilson
In general, Hitler embodied the view of any popular newspaper.
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
Truth comes to us mediated by human love.
A. N. Wilson
