More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
Passion is for holidays, not homecoming.
Jeanette Winterson
The body shuts down when it has too much to bear goes its own way quietly inside, waiting for a better time, leaving you numb and half alive.
Jeanette Winterson
I have met a great many people on their way towards God and I wonder why they have chosen to look for him rather than themselves.
Jeanette Winterson
Trust your creativity.
Jeanette Winterson
Make three wishes and they shall all come true. Make three hundred and I will honour every one
Jeanette Winterson
I don't want to conquer you I just want to climb you.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't see myself as some kind of lone figure standing out there and doing my work in solitary splendour, but as part of the human condition and part of the continuum of writers.
Jeanette Winterson
She was fragile, gentle, wide awake in a sleeping world.
Jeanette Winterson
Some people are happy when they are at the sea I'm happy when I'm standing in front of a shelf of books. It feels like the known place and also the beginning of a new adventure. It has that simultaneous paradoxical effect of making me feel absolutely calm and very excited.
Jeanette Winterson
I think we are worlds compressed into human form.
Jeanette Winterson
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
I care about doing the work as best as I can do, and that it should go on reaching people. It's not about fame and it's not about me. It's about creating something that might allow someone else to create something.
Jeanette Winterson
I have a theory that every time you make an important choice, the part of you left behind continues the other life you could have had.
Jeanette Winterson
It's true that heroes are inspiring, but mustn't they also do some rescuing if they are to be worthy of their name? Would Wonder Woman matter if she only sent commiserating telegrams to the distressed?
Jeanette Winterson
In the presence of love, hearth and quest become one.
Jeanette Winterson
I wanted to write a new fable and see how many rules you could break.
Jeanette Winterson
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
I am good at walking away. Rejection teaches you how to reject.
Jeanette Winterson
Misery pulls away the brackets of life leaving you to free fall.
Jeanette Winterson
And you? Now that I have discovered you? Beautiful, dangerous, unleashed. Still I try to hold you, knowing that your body is faced with knives.
Jeanette Winterson
