More quotes by A. N. Wilson
I do not find it easy to articulate thoughts about religion. I remain the sort of person who turns off 'Thought for the Day' when it comes on the radio.
A. N. Wilson
It is the woman - nearly always - in spite of all the advances of modern feminism, who still takes responsibility for the bulk of the chores, as well as doing her paid job. This is true even in households where men try to be unselfish and to do their share.
A. N. Wilson
We, while noting many things amiss about Victorian society, more often sense them judging us.
A. N. Wilson
Since Einstein developed his theory of relativity, and Rutherford and Bohr revolutionised physics, our picture of the world has radically changed.
A. N. Wilson
I'm not saying all publishers have to be literary, but some interest in books would help.
A. N. Wilson
I don't write books inadvertently.
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 very much dislike the intolerance and moralism of many Christians, and feel more sympathy with Honest Doubters than with them.
A. N. Wilson

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
Truth comes to us mediated by human love.
A. N. Wilson
It is eerie being all but alone in Westminster Abbey. Without the tourists, there are only the dead, many of them kings and queens. They speak powerfully and put my thoughts into vivid perspective.
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
Fear of death has never played a large part in my consciousness - perhaps unimaginative of me.
A. N. Wilson
In general, Hitler embodied the view of any popular newspaper.
A. N. Wilson
Of all liars the most arrogant are biographers: those who would have us believe, having surveyed a few boxes full of letters, diaries, bank statements and photographs, that they can play at the recording angel and tell the whole truth about another human life.
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
If you know somebody is going to be awfully annoyed by something you write, that's obviously very satisfying, and if they howl with rage or cry, that's honey.
A. N. Wilson
I think I became a Catholic to annoy my father.
A. N. Wilson
Iris Murdoch did influence my early novels very much, and influence is never entirely good.
A. N. Wilson
