Jeanette Winterson
Image
I didn't mind being unpopular at school, because everyone else was a heathen.
Jeanette Winterson

I don't know which is worse: to be wrongfully accused or mistakenly understood.

Knowing that books are something that is hidden, that almost has that alchemical quality to it. There is a secret society in here, and if you belong to it, you'll be able to transform your lead into gold. I have that rather magical sense about books - that they do, somehow, have special powers.
Jeanette Winterson

It's not the one thing nor the other that leads to madness, but the space in between.
Jeanette Winterson
Image

Image
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
Image
Every believer is an anarchist at heart. True believers would rather see governments topple and history rewritten than scuff the cover of their faith.
Jeanette Winterson
Image

Jeanette Winterson
Image
I am much better at saying how I feel when I no longer feel it.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
I hate the word lesbian it tells you nothing its only purpose is to inflame.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
The universe has no sides, no end, can't be mapped. Enough to make a man talk about God, make a man superstitious and worship an idol. The science never gets as far as the strangeness.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
We are lucky, even the worst of us, for daylight comes.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Capitalism is like Japanese Knotweed: nothing kills it off. If there were only two people left on the planet, one of them would find a way of making money out of the other.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
I lay there, stretched out, looking at the one star visible through the tiny window of the room. Only connect. How can you do that when the connections are broken?
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Darkness as well as light. Or do I mean darkness, another kind of light? Lucifer would say so, and I have a weakness for fallen angels.
