Text Quotes
I don't read reviews because by then it's too late - whatever anyone says, the book won't change. It is written (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
I don't understand why people talk of art as a luxury when it's a mind altering possibility (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
I live alone, with cats, books, pictures, fresh vegetables to cook, the garden, the hens to feed (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
If you continually write and read yourself as a fiction, you can change what's crushing you (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
I had relationships with men as well as women. I wasn't choosing; I didn't think I had to (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
The stories we sit up late to hear are love stories. It seems that we cannot know enough about this riddle of our lives. We go back and back to the same scenes, the same words, trying to scrape out the meaning. Nothing could be more familiar than love. Nothing else eludes us so completely (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
I walked out to brood on this life of ours, which seems from birth to death to be a steady loss, disguised by sudden gains and happiness, which persuade us of good fortune, when all the while the glass is emptying (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Our broken society is not born out of the triumph of the individual, but out of his effacement. He vanishes, she vanishes, ask them who they are and they will offer you a wallet or a child (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Strange to dream in the right shape and build in the wrong shape, but maybe that is what we do every day, never believing that a dream could tell the truth (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
It’s the cliches that cause the trouble. A precise emotion seeks a precise expression (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Writing objects to the lie that life is small. Writing is a cell of energy. Writing defines itself. Writing draws its viewer in for longer than an instant. Writing exhibits boldness. Writing restores power to exalt, unnerve, shock, and transform us. Writing does not imitate life, it anticipates life (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
If art, all art, is concerned with truth, then a society in denial will not find much use for it (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. What then kills love? Only this: Neglect (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
It may be that there was no reason or purpose, for mankind must always be finding reasons where there are none, and comfort in a purpose that hardly exists (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
I have found that I am not a space where people want to live, at least not without decorating first (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
This is a quantum universe... neither random nor determined. It is potential at every second. All you can do is intervene (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
When I was born, my father wanted to drown me, but my mother persuaded him to let me live in disguise, to see if I could bring any wealth to the household (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
In therapy, the therapist acts as a container for what we daren’t let out, because it is so scary, or what lets itself out every so often, and lays waste to our lives (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Every believer is an anarchist at heart. True believers would rather see governments topple and history rewritten than scuff the cover of their faith (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Memoir... satisfies our need for gossip and intimacy, for testimony and confessional, and in this world of spin, offers a truthful account of what it means to succeed or fail, to love and lose, to break your heart and mend it again (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Yes, the past is another country, but one that we can visit, and once there we can bring back the things we need (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Poetry is easier to learn than prose. Once you have learned it you can use it as a light and a laser. It shows up your true situation and it helps you cut through it (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Happiness is a specific. Misery is a generalization. People usually know exactly why they are happy. They very rarely know why they are miserable (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
You know every cell in our bodies is completely renewed every seven years, so how can we talk about being the same person? We’re absolutely not (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
The fact is that every atom that we’re made of is part of that first explosion of a nuclear star billions of years ago. We’re connected to the entire universe (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Organized religion is a very bad way of passing on spiritual values because it becomes so corrupted with political and repressive agendas which don’t help anybody to develop their spirituality (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)
Do all lovers feel helpless and valiant in the presence of the beloved? Helpless because the need to roll over like a pet dog is never far away. Valiant because you know you would slay a dragon with a pocket knife if you had to (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Every journey conceals another journey within its lines: the path not taken and the forgotten angle (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
To avoid discovery I stay on the run. To discover things for myself, I stay on the run (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
