Reading is where the wild things are.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
When I say 'I will be true to you' I am drawing a quiet space beyond the reach of other desires.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
We fear passion and laugh at too much love and those who love too much. And still we long to feel.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
There are so many separate selves no one who writes creatively hasn't felt that.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
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
Image
I think heterosexuality and homosexuality are a kind of psychosis, and the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
We're in a strange situation where people either don't read at all or they read a lot. There's a huge gap in between. That's something that would be good to bridge so it doesn't have to be one thing or the other. Books could be part of life in a more relaxed way. I'd like to see that.

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.

I hate the word lesbian it tells you nothing its only purpose is to inflame.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
I go on writing so that I will always have something to read.
Jeanette Winterson

Whether you want to call it God or the mystery of the cosmos doesn't matter to me.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
He doubted her. You must never doubt the one you love. But they might not be telling the truth. Never mind that. You tell them the truth. What do you mean? You can't be another person's honesty, child, but you can be your own. So what should I say? When? When I love someone? You should say it.

Image
I fell into the books, and left myself there for safekeeping.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Life cannot be calculated. That's the big mistake our civilization made. We never accepted that randomness is not a mistake in the equation -- it is part of the equation.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
The rebellion of art is a daily rebellion against the state of living death routinely called real life.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
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
Image
A bridge is a meeting place . . . a possibility, a metaphor.
Jeanette Winterson

Books, for me, are a home. Books don’t make a home – they are one, in the sense that just as you do with a door, you open a book, and you go inside. Inside there is a different kind of time and a different kind of space.

In the space between chaos and shape there was another chance.
