More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
I don't believe in happy endings.
Jeanette Winterson
I feel in colour, strong tones that I hue down for the comfort of the pastelly inclined. Beige and magnolia and a hint of pink are what the well-decorated heart is wearing who wants my blood red and vein-blue?
Jeanette Winterson
That walls should fall is the consequence of blowing your own trumpet.
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
I felt like a thief with a bagful of stolen glances.
Jeanette Winterson
Sometimes you have to live in precarious and temporary places. Unsuitable places. Wrong places. Sometimes the safe place won't help you.
Jeanette Winterson
In the library I felt better, words you could trust and look at till you understood them, they couldn't change half way through a sentence like people, so it was easier to spot a lie.
Jeanette Winterson
Turn up for work. Discipline allows creative freedom. No discipline equals no freedom.
Jeanette Winterson
What are you that makes me feel thus? Who are you for whom time has no meaning?
Jeanette Winterson
Our own front door can be a wonderful thing, or a sight we dread rarely is it only a door.
Jeanette Winterson
Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it.
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
It is important not to force a character into something. Fiction writers can be too controlling - usually that's a terror of our own unconscious processes.
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
Art can make a difference because it pulls people up short. It says, don't accept things for their face value you don't have to go along with any of this you can think for yourself.
Jeanette Winterson
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.
Jeanette Winterson
We shall all die, and our lives will be irrelevant then.
Jeanette Winterson
This is a quantum universe ... neither random nor determined. It is potential at every second. All you can do is intervene.
Jeanette Winterson
It is helpful for a woman artist not to have a husband.
Jeanette Winterson
Words are the part of silence that can be spoken.
Jeanette Winterson
