More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
the buddhists say there are 149 ways to god. i'm not looking for god, only for myself, and that is far more complicated.
Jeanette Winterson
I dreamed I was a single moment in a single day. A note struck and vanished. A sounding. A reckoning. Gone.
Jeanette Winterson
Always in my books, I like to throw that rogue element into a stable situation and then see what happens.
Jeanette Winterson
Every moment you steal from the present is a moment you've lost forever. There is only now.
Jeanette Winterson
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. What then kills love? Only this: Neglect.
Jeanette Winterson
When I say 'I will be true to you' I am drawing a quiet space beyond the reach of other desires.
Jeanette Winterson
I'm always nervous about going home, just as I am nervous about rereading books that have meant a lot to me.
Jeanette Winterson
We're living in a homogenized culture where everything is the same, and books are not a homogenized culture. They are extremely varied, and they're eccentric because they are the product of an individual mind. They are not, in any way, mediated.
Jeanette Winterson
But not all dark places need light, I have to remember that.
Jeanette Winterson
The future is foretold from the past and the future is only possible because of the past. Without past and future, the present is partial. All time is eternally present and so all time is ours. There is no sense in forgetting and every sense in dreaming. Thus the present is made rich.
Jeanette Winterson
How many of us want any of us to see us as we really are?
Jeanette Winterson
Everyone thinks their own situation most tragic. I am no exception.
Jeanette Winterson
I think we are worlds compressed into human form.
Jeanette Winterson
Fragile creatures of a small blue planet, surrounded by light years of silent space.
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
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 had huge ambition for literature. I don't see the point of doing anything if you don't have ambition for it.
Jeanette Winterson
Cheating is easy. There's no swank to infidelity. To borrow against the trust someone has placed in you costs nothing at first. You get away with it, you take a little more and a little more until there is no more to draw on. Oddly, your hands should be full with all that taking but when you open them there's nothing there.
Jeanette Winterson
Their throats were bare for God.

I believe in communication books communicate ideas and make bridges between people.
