More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
Are we all living like this? Two lives, the ideal outer life and the inner imaginative life where we keep our secrets?
Jeanette Winterson
I have no idea what happens next.
Jeanette Winterson
Books and doors are the same thing. You open them, and you go through into another world.
Jeanette Winterson
We live in a world of buy it or leave it. Love does not signify.
Jeanette Winterson
I think heterosexuality and homosexuality are a kind of psychosis, and the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Jeanette Winterson
I am not tempted by God but I love his trappings.
Jeanette Winterson
Creativity is on the side of health - it isn't the thing that drives us mad it is the capacity in us that tries to save us from madness.
Jeanette Winterson
Every second the Universe divides into possibilities and most of those possibilities never happen. It is not a uni-verse -- there is more than one reading. The story won't stop, can't stop, it goes on telling itself, waiting for an intervention that changes what will happen next.
Jeanette Winterson
Love ... Just Nature's way of getting one person to pay the bills for another person.
Jeanette Winterson
In the space between chaos and shape there was another chance.
Jeanette Winterson
There’s no story that’s the start of itself.
Jeanette Winterson
You're never alone with a book, are you? It's a dialogue.
Jeanette Winterson
[Fiction and poetry] are medicines, they're doses, and they heal the rupture that reality makes on the imagination.
Jeanette Winterson
The ancients believed in fate because they recognized how hard it is for anyone to change anything. The pull of past and future is so strong that the present is crushed by it. We lie helpless in the force of patterns inherited and patterns re-enacted by our own behavior. The burden is intolerable.
Jeanette Winterson
The only sex education my mother ever gave me was the injunction: 'Never let a boy touch you down there.' I had no idea what she meant. She seemed to be referring to my knees.
Jeanette Winterson
What I want does exist if I dare to find it.
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
Freud, one of the grand masters of narrative, knew that the past is not fixed in the way that linear time suggests. We can return. We can pick up what we dropped. We can mend what others broke. We can talk with the dead.
Jeanette Winterson
We bury things so deep we no longer remember there was anything to bury. Our bodies remember. Our neurotic states remember. But we don't.
Jeanette Winterson
What are you that makes me feel thus? Who are you for whom time has no meaning?
Jeanette Winterson
