"Fear of death has never played a large part in my consciousness – perhaps unimaginative of me." ― A. N. Wilson Topic(s): Death More From 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." "I suppose if I’d got a brilliant first and done research I might still be a don today, but I hope not. People become dons because they are incapable of doing anything else in life." "I had lost faith in biography." More In Death "So here is one of my theories on happiness: we cannot know if we have lived a truly happy life until the very end. This view of life and death was reinforced by my close witnessing of the buildup to the death of Philip Gould. Philip was without doubt my closest friend in politics. When he died, I felt like I had lost a limb."― Alastair Campbell "I was dating this guy and we would spend all day text messaging each other. And he thought that he could tell that he liked me more because he actually spelt the word ‘YOU’ and I just put the letter ‘U’."― Kelly Osbourne "There is nothing glamorous about death."― Roger Moore
