More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
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
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
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
Love ... Just Nature's way of getting one person to pay the bills for another person.
Jeanette Winterson
I like to think the price I paid by being open about my private life helped.
Jeanette Winterson
Do you fall in love often? Yes often. With a view, with a book, with a dog, a cat, with numbers, with friends, with complete strangers, with nothing at all.
Jeanette Winterson
Turn up for work. Discipline allows creative freedom. No discipline equals no freedom.
Jeanette Winterson
For fate may hang on any moment and at any moment be changed.
Jeanette Winterson
What are you that makes me feel thus? Who are you for whom time has no meaning?
Jeanette Winterson
Myths hook and bind the mind because at the same time they set the mind free: they explain the universe while allowing the universe to go on being unexplained and we seem to need this even now, in our twentieth-century grandeur.
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
Part broken - part whole, you begin again. ( from 'Why books seem shockproof against change.' THE TIMES: BOOKS)
Jeanette Winterson
I have no idea what happens next.
Jeanette Winterson
I have a head for heights it's true, but no stomach for the depths. Strange then to have plumbed so many.
Jeanette Winterson
Great control and great discipline are necessary when you reach your own editing stage of the book, but in the early stages you have to be prepared to let anything happen and to get it wrong or go off track. The development of a character is not smooth or simple - it is as tricky as meeting someone new whom you would like to know better.
Jeanette Winterson
I think we are worlds compressed into human form.
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
If art, all art, is concerned with truth, then a society in denial will not find much use for it.
Jeanette Winterson
Their throats were bare for God.
Jeanette Winterson
Love's lengthways splits the heart in two - the heart where you are, the heart where you want to be.
Jeanette Winterson
