Jeanette Winterson Quotes

I looked at my palms trying to see the other life, the parallel life. The point at which my selves broke away and one married a fat man and the other stayed here Picture Quote #1

Love is the one thing stronger than desire and the only proper reason to resist temptation Picture Quote #1

Time that withers you will wither me. We will fall like ripe fruit and roll down the grass together. Dear friend, let me lie beside you watching the clouds until the earth covers us and we are gone Picture Quote #1

Trust me, I’m telling you stories... I can change the story. I am the story Picture Quote #1

Although wherever you are going is always in front of you, there is no such thing as straight ahead Picture Quote #1

Gambling is not a vice, it is an expression of our humanness. We gamble. Some do it at the gaming table, some do not. You play, you win, you play, you lose. You play Picture Quote #1

Perhaps all romance is like that; not a contract between equal parties but an explosion of dreams and desires that can find no outlet in everyday life. Only a drama will do and while the fireworks last the sky is a different colour Picture Quote #1

I dreamed I was a single moment in a single day. A note struck and vanished. A sounding. A reckoning. Gone Picture Quote #1

I seem to have run in a great circle, and met myself again on the starting line Picture Quote #1

Why did I walk so purposefully in a straight line? Where would it take me? He went round and round and we got there all the same Picture Quote #1

Capacity for love in its higher forms seems to be peculiarly human although even in humans it is still peculiar Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to tell the story of myself, but someone I called myself. If you read yourself as fiction, it’s rather more liberating than reading yourself as fact Picture Quote #1

I think now that being free is not being powerful or rich or well regarded or without obligation but being able to love. To love someone else enough to forget about yourself even for one moment is to be free Picture Quote #1

I choose this story above all others because it’s a story I’m struggling to end Picture Quote #1

Whoever it is you fall in love with for the first time, not just love but be in love with, is the one who will always make you angry, the one you can’t be logical about Picture Quote #1

Odd to think that the piece of you I know best is already dead. The cells on the surface of your skin are thin and flat without the blood vessels or nerve endings. Dead cells, thickest on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet Picture Quote #1

When people looked at him they had the feeling of being shut out. He did not shut them out. He shut himself in Picture Quote #1

Don’t lie. You know you like to view but not to buy. I have found that I am not a space where people want to live, at least not without decorating first. And that is the stubbornness in me: I do not want to be someone’s little home Picture Quote #1

…I noticed a woman whose face was a sea voyage I had not the courage to attempt Picture Quote #1

I lay there, stretched out, looking at the one star visible through the tiny window of the room. Only connect. How can you do that when the connections are broken? Picture Quote #1

What should I do about the wild and the tame? The wild heart that wants to be free, and the tame heart that wants to come home Picture Quote #1

You play, you win, you play, you lose. You play. It’s the playing that’s irresistible. Dicing from one year to the next with the things you love, what you risk reveals what you value Picture Quote #1

It’s not the one thing nor the other that leads to madness, but the space in between Picture Quote #1

Whatever it is that pulls the pin, that hurls you past the boundaries of your own life into a brief and total beauty, even for a moment, it is enough Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to remember that this day will never come again. That the time is now and the place is here and that there are no second chances at a single moment Picture Quote #1

Time is a player. Time is part of today, not simply a measure of its passing Picture Quote #1

When I look at my life I realise that the mistakes I have made, the things I really regret, were not errors of judgement but failures of feeling Picture Quote #1

We are told not to privilege one story above another. All the stories must be told. Well, maybe that’s true, maybe all stories are worth hearing, but not all stories are worth telling Picture Quote #1

There is no sense in loving someone you can never wake up to except by chance Picture Quote #1
