More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
Tell me a story, Pew. What kind of story, child? A story with a happy ending. There’s no such thing in all the world. As a happy ending? As an ending.
Jeanette Winterson
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.
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
Stories end in reverie, tragedy, or forgiveness.
Jeanette Winterson
As a writer, if you're prepared to work from your own wound, you're allowing people into the most vulnerable parts of yourself.
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
...there are two kinds of writing: the one you write and the one that writes you.
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
You don't get over it because 'it' is the person you loved.
Jeanette Winterson
Part fact part fiction is what life is. And it is always a cover story. I wrote my way out.
Jeanette Winterson
Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it.
Jeanette Winterson
You play, you win, you play, you lose. You play. It’s the playing that’s irresistible. Dicing from one year to the next with the things you love, what you risk reveals what you value.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't want to conquer you I just want to climb you.
Jeanette Winterson
I had relationships with men as well as women. I wasn't choosing I didn't think I had to.
