More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
The curious are always in some danger. If you are curious you might never come home.
Jeanette Winterson
He: What’s the matter with you? Me: Nothing. Nothing was slowly clotting my arteries. Nothing slowly numbing my soul. Caught by nothing, saying nothing, nothingness becomes me. When I am nothing they will say surprised in the way that they are forever surprised, but there was nothing the matter with her.
Jeanette Winterson
That walls should fall is the consequence of blowing your own trumpet.
Jeanette Winterson
It is a true saying, that what you fear you find.
Jeanette Winterson
Creative work is incredibly difficult, and that is where the tests lie. Ordinary professionalism and twenty years' experience can accomplish a lot, but it can't access the hidden places. That still needs what it always needs - a condition of complete simplicity, costing not less than everything.
Jeanette Winterson
A homosexual is further away from a woman than a rhinoceros.
Jeanette Winterson
I was happy but happy is an adult word. You don't have to ask a child about happy, you see it. They are or they are not. Adults talk about being happy because largely they are not. Talking about it is the same as trying to catch the wind. Much easier to let it blow all over you.
Jeanette Winterson
I would rather have regrets of excess than regrets of denial.
Jeanette Winterson
Tell me the story, Pew. . . . It was a woman. You always say that. There's always a woman somewhere, child a princess, a witch, a stepmother, a mermaid, a fairy godmother, or one as wicked as she is beautiful, or as beautiful as she is good. Is that the complete list? Then there is the woman you love. Who's she? That's another story.
Jeanette Winterson
When I look at my life I realise that the mistakes I have made, the things I really regret, were not errors of judgement but failures of feeling.
Jeanette Winterson
unhappy families are conspiracies of silence. The one who breaks the silence is never forgiven.
Jeanette Winterson
If you continually write and read yourself as a fiction, you can change what's crushing you.
Jeanette Winterson
Gambling is not a vice, it is an expression of our humanness. We gamble. Some do it at the gaming table, some do not. You play, you win, you play, you lose. You play.
Jeanette Winterson
I wanted to write a new fable and see how many rules you could break.
Jeanette Winterson
I didn't mind being unpopular at school, because everyone else was a heathen.
Jeanette Winterson
I am a writer who happens to love women. I am not a lesbian who happens to write.
Jeanette Winterson
Marriage is the flimsiest weapon against desire. You may as well take a pop-gun to a python.
Jeanette Winterson
You've got these twenty million people who call themselves the Evangelical Christians who will put their hand up and say, I believe in the devil, I'm against abortion and gay rights, and we have to blow up the world. It's frightening.
Jeanette Winterson
There's no such thing as autobiography, there's only art and lies
Jeanette Winterson
Passion is for holidays, not homecoming.
