More quotes by William Nicholson
We read to know that we are not alone.
William Nicholson
Use your power gently.
William Nicholson
Self-sufficiency is the enemy of salvation. If you are self-sufficient, you have no need of God. If you have no need of God, you do not seek Him. If you do not seek Him, you will not find Him.
William Nicholson
I am as I am. The world is as it is. Whether I am content with that has very little to do with it.
William Nicholson
Experience is a brutal teacher, but you learn fast.
William Nicholson
Everyone deserves to be the hero of a novel.
William Nicholson

William Nicholson

William Nicholson
We read to know we're not alone.
William Nicholson
Today begins my walk with you. Where you go, I go. Where you stay, I stay. When you sleep, I will sleep. When you rise, I will rise. I will pass my days within the sound of your voice, and my nights within the reach of your hand. And none shall come between us. - Manth Vow
William Nicholson
Why should I be honored? Don't I have enough attention, comfort and power already?
William Nicholson
There are dozens of great American writers who write about the family.
William Nicholson
If you die, I'll die.' 'But is you live, I'll live.' - Bowman and Kestrel, Firesong
William Nicholson
Madly, futilely, I wrote novel after novel, eight in all, that failed to find a publisher. I persisted because for me the novel was the supreme literary form: not just one among many, not a relic of the past, but the way we communicate to one another the subtlest truths about this business of living.
William Nicholson
We are the slaves of slaves
William Nicholson
We write to know we are not alone
