Work
Done
Never
A busybody's work is never done.
- A. N. Wilson
Think
Tell
About
I don't think you can tell the objective truth about a person. That's why people write novels.
- A. N. Wilson
Going
Very
Obviously
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
Love
Think
Been
When I think about atheist friends, including my father, they seem to me like people who have no ear for music, or who have never been in love.
- A. N. Wilson
My Life
Study
Like
I've never had a study in my life. I'm like Jane Austen - I work on the corner of the dining table.
- A. N. Wilson
Very
Nevertheless
Another
It would no doubt be very sentimental to argue - but I would argue it nevertheless - that the peculiar combination of joy and sadness in bell music - both of clock chimes, and of change-ringing - is very typical of England. It is of a piece with the irony in which English people habitually address one another.
- A. N. Wilson
Hope
Doing
Anything Else

Truth
Human
Truth comes to us mediated by human love.

- A. N. Wilson
Beginning
Want
Idea
I'm starting to realize that people are beginning to want to know about me. It's a jolly strange idea.
- A. N. Wilson
Death
Never
Perhaps
Fear of death has never played a large part in my consciousness - perhaps unimaginative of me.
- A. N. Wilson
Other
Some
Very
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
Woman
Doing
Nearly
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
Never
Very
Entirely
Iris Murdoch did influence my early novels very much, and influence is never entirely good.
- A. N. Wilson
Queen
Big
Shared
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
Nothing
Original

I've got nothing very original to say myself.

I might be deceiving myself but I do not think that I do have an inordinate fear of death.

I Think
I think that if you can't be loyal to the Church, it's best to get out.

Reading about Queen Victoria has been a passion of mine since, as a child, I came across Laurence Housman's play 'Happy and Glorious,' with its Ernest Shepard illustrations.
- A. N. Wilson
Think
I Think
Personally
Personally, I think universities are finished. So much rubbish gets taught.
