More quotes by Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
Although wherever you are going is always in front of you, there is no such thing as straight ahead.
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
Anything outside marriage seems like freedom and excitement.
Jeanette Winterson
Everyone thinks their own situation most tragic. I am no exception.
Jeanette Winterson
It's true that heroes are inspiring, but mustn't they also do some rescuing if they are to be worthy of their name? Would Wonder Woman matter if she only sent commiserating telegrams to the distressed?
Jeanette Winterson
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
There's something about the authenticity rather than the autobiography that makes my story and my pain move across and become your story and your pain.
Jeanette Winterson
the power of a text is not time-bound. The words go on doing their work.
