More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
I live alone, with cats, books, pictures, fresh vegetables to cook, the garden, the hens to feed.
Jeanette Winterson
A homosexual is further away from a woman than a rhinoceros.
Jeanette Winterson
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.
Jeanette Winterson
We [fiction writers] are much more of a maze than we are a motorway. Things are always in flux, they're always in movement, they're always twisting back on each other. I think the straight line is such a lie.
Jeanette Winterson
When a woman gives birth her waters break and she pours out the child and the child runs free.
Jeanette Winterson
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
Age is information failure. The body loses fluency.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't write for any group. I write to bring about a change in consciousness.
Jeanette Winterson
I am a writer who happens to love women. I am not a lesbian who happens to write.
Jeanette Winterson
The only selfish life is a timid one.
Jeanette Winterson
Your weak point is the open, vulnerable place where you can always be hurt. Love, in all its aspects, opens the self so fully.
Jeanette Winterson
We shall all die, and our lives will be irrelevant then.
Jeanette Winterson
Why is the mind incapable of deciding its own subject matter? Why when we desperately want to think of one thing to we invariably think of another?
Jeanette Winterson
Words are the part of silence that can be spoken.
Jeanette Winterson
It’s better to think of my life like that— part miracle, part madness. It’s better if I accept that I can’t control any of the things that matter. My life is a trail of shipwrecks and set-sails. There are no arrivals, no destinations there are only sandbanks and shipwreck then another boat, another tide.
Jeanette Winterson
Slightest accidents open up new worlds.
Jeanette Winterson
What is more humiliating than finding the object of your love unworthy?
Jeanette Winterson
Writers have to have a knack for listening. I need to be able to hear what is being said to me by the voices I create.
Jeanette Winterson
How easy it is to destroy the past and how difficult to forget it.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't understand why people talk of art as a luxury when it's a mind-altering possibility.
Jeanette Winterson
