More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
The curious are always in some danger. If you are curious you might never come home.
Jeanette Winterson
How easy it is to destroy the past and how difficult to forget it.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't believe in happy endings.
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
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. What then kills love? Only this: Neglect.
Jeanette Winterson
This is a quantum universe ... neither random nor determined. It is potential at every second. All you can do is intervene.
Jeanette Winterson
The stories we sit up late to hear are love stories. It seems that we cannot know enough about this riddle of our lives. We go back and back to the same scenes, the same words, trying to scrape out the meaning. Nothing could be more familiar than love. Nothing else eludes us so completely.
Jeanette Winterson
I feel in colour, strong tones that I hue down for the comfort of the pastelly inclined. Beige and magnolia and a hint of pink are what the well-decorated heart is wearing who wants my blood red and vein-blue?
Jeanette Winterson
Myths hook and bind the mind because at the same time they set the mind free: they explain the universe while allowing the universe to go on being unexplained and we seem to need this even now, in our twentieth-century grandeur.
Jeanette Winterson
We are all historians in our small way.
Jeanette Winterson
There are so many separate selves no one who writes creatively hasn't felt that.
Jeanette Winterson
It's great to win a few prizes early on. It helps a writer to get noticed and to get some sales. It can also be a pain in the arse because it gets in the way of the quiet, contemplative time every writer needs, but which is particularly important when you are a new writer finding your own voice, and pursuing the things that interest you.
Jeanette Winterson
I think of love as a force of nature-as strog as the sun, as necessary, as impersonal, as gigantic, as impossible, as scorching as it is warming,as drought-making as it is life-giving.
Jeanette Winterson
There's no such thing as autobiography, there's only art and lies
Jeanette Winterson
I used to think marriage was a plate-glass window just begging for a brick.
Jeanette Winterson
For fate may hang on any moment and at any moment be changed.
Jeanette Winterson
Very often history is a means of denying the past.
Jeanette Winterson
No emotion is the final one.
Jeanette Winterson
I think it would be very foolish not to take the irrational seriously.
Jeanette Winterson
[Fiction and poetry] are medicines, they're doses, and they heal the rupture that reality makes on the imagination.
Jeanette Winterson
