Like many men, I am not ashamed to admit that my principal joys are domestic. I love cooking, and I love looking after my children. Indeed, the times that I have with them are the only ones when I feel unconditionally happy.

More quotes by Louis de Bernieres
Women only nag when they feel unappreciated.
Louis de Bernieres
Love is not breathlessness It is not excitement It is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love”, which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Louis de Bernieres
Family law is institutionally anti-male. I've been lobbying MPs, and I'm not going to give up campaigning for equality until I get equality.
Louis de Bernieres
No man is a man until he has been a soldier.

Remember that fear causes to happen the very things it fears. That's why fear should be unknown to us.
Louis de Bernieres
We have roots that grow towards each other underground. And when all the pretty blossom has fallen from our branches we find that we are one tree and not two.
Louis de Bernieres
[She] knew that it was not precisely a body that one loved. One loved the man who shone out through the eyes and used its mouth to smile and speak.
Louis de Bernieres
It seems that everyone has their own inexplicable fear to have nightmares about. We need nightmares to keep ourselves entertained, and fend off the contentment that we all fear and abhor so much.
Louis de Bernieres
An adversarial family law system raises the stakes unnecessarily high, exacerbates the antagonism of the couples concerned, and is directly responsible for making it impossible for couples who would otherwise have reconciled to do so.
Louis de Bernieres
We should care for each other more than we care for ideas, or else we will end up killing each other.
Louis de Bernieres
Beauty is precious, you see, and the more beautiful something is, the more precious it is and the more precious it is the more it hurts us that it will fade away and the more we are hurt by beauty, the more we love the world.
Louis de Bernieres
Symmetry is for God, not for us.
Louis de Bernieres
The human heart likes a little disorder in its geometry.
Louis de Bernieres
The garden where you sit Has never a need of flowers, For you are the blossoms And only a fool or the blind Would fail to know it
Louis de Bernieres
Compared to a novel, a film is like an economy pizza where there are no olives, no ham, no anchovies, no mushrooms, and all you’ve got is the dough.
Louis de Bernieres
Did you know that childhood is the only time in our lives when insanity is not only permitted to us, but expected?
