Text Quotes
She had made him possible. In that sense she was his God. Like God, she was neglected (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Life has never been All or Nothing- it’s All and Nothing. Forget the binaries (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
I know now, after fifty years, that the finding/losing, forgetting/remembering, leaving/returning, never stops. The whole of life is about another chance, and while we are alive, till the very end, there is always another chance (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
I have noticed that doing the sensible thing is only a good idea when the decision is quite small. For the life-changing things, you must risk it (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Happy ending are only a pause. There are three kinds of big endings: Revenge. Tragedy. Forgiveness. Revenge and Tragedy often happen together. Forgiveness redeems the past. Forgiveness unblocks the future (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
We heal up through being loved, and through loving others. We don’t heal by forming a secret society of one - by assessing about the only other ‘one’ we might admit, and being doomed to disappointment (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
There are only three possible endings -aren’t there? - to any story: revenge, tragedy or forgiveness. That’s it. All stories end like that (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
To kiss well one must kiss solely. No groping hands or stammering hearts. The lips and the lips alone are the pleasure. Passion is sweeter split strand by strand. Divided and re-divided like mercury then gathered up only at the last moment (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
When we make a change, it’s so easy to interpret our unsettledness as unhappiness, and our unhappiness as a result of having made the wrong decision. Our mental and emotional states fluctuate madly when we make big changes in our lives, and some days we could tight-rope across Manhattan, and other days we are too weary to clean our teeth. This is normal. This is natural. This is change (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Writing is both bomb and bomb disposal-a necessary shattering of cliche and assumption, and a powerful defusing of the soul-destroying messages of modern life (that nothing matters, nothing changes, money is everything, etc). Writing is a state of being as well as an act of doing (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
I think every work of art is an act of faith, or we wouldn’t bother to do it. It is a message in a bottle, a shout in the dark. It’s saying, ‘I’m here and I believe that you are somewhere and that you will answer if necessary across time, not necessarily in my lifetime.’ (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Life cannot be calculated. That’s the big mistake our civilization made. We never accepted that randomness is not a mistake in the equation -- it is part of the equation (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Y’know, Nature’s unpredictable -- that’s why we had to tame her. Maybe we went too far, but in principle we made the right decision (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Every second the Universe divides into possibilities and most of those possibilities never happen. It is not a uni-verse -- there is more than one reading. The story won’t stop, can’t stop, it goes on telling itself, waiting for an intervention that changes what will happen next (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
We didn’t build our bridges simply to avoid walking on water. Nothing so obvious. A bridge is a meeting place. A neutral place. A casual place. Enemies will choose to meet on a bridge and end their quarrel in that void... For lovers, a bridge is a possibility, a metaphor of their chances. And for the traffic in whispered goods, where else but a bridge in the night? (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
The Bible writers didn’t care that they were bunching together sequences some of which were historical, some preposterous, and some downright manipulative. Faithful recording was not their business; faith was (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
The power of a text is not time-bound. The words go on doing their work (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
You’ve got these twenty million people who call themselves the Evangelical Christians who will put their hand up and say, I believe in the devil, I’m against abortion and gay rights, and we have to blow up the world. It’s frightening (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
As people get older they have these rigid patterns that they impose on themselves, and it kills them. They become dull, they become dead to new experience, they become afraid, biased, and bigoted. It’s really simply to do with refusing new experience (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
People being encouraged to make up their own minds and think for themselves is so important. This world talks endlessly about freedom of choice, but we’ve never been [nothing] more than a nation of robots. Everybody is seduced by corporate culture (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
The Humans is a laugh-and-cry book. Troubling, thrilling, puzzling, believable and impossible. Matt Haig uses words like a tin-opener. We are the tin (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Even the most solid of things, and the most real, the best-loved and the well-known, are only hand shadows on the wall. Empty space and points of light (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
There’s a whole generation growing up thinking you shouldn’t seek knowledge for its own sake, and that theatre and art and books are activities that you do after-hours, rather than things that are at the heart of life. That’s a huge change. (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Fall for me, as an apple falls, as rain falls, because you must. Use gravity to anchor your desire. (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
With animal behavior, they’re all fine until you introduce some rogue element into the cage, and then they go crazy. (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Every journey conceals another journey within its lines; the path not taken and the forgotten angle. These are the journeys I wish to record. Not the ones I made, but the ones I might have made, or perhaps did make in some other place or time. (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Love is vivid. I never wanted the pale version. Love is full strength. I never wanted the diluted version. I never shied away from love’s hugeness but I had no idea that love could be as reliable as the sun. The daily rising of love. (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
A book is a magic carpet that flies you off somewhere. A book is a door. You open it. You step through. Do you come back? (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Children do not find fault with their parents until later. In the beginning, the love you get is the love that sets. (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
I know I’ve had an unusual beginning and a colourful life, but that wouldn’t matter if I couldn’t make it speak to other people. (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
