Love ... Just Nature's way of getting one person to pay the bills for another person.
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
The body shuts down when it has too much to bear goes its own way quietly inside, waiting for a better time, leaving you numb and half alive.
Jeanette Winterson
What are you that makes me feel thus? Who are you for whom time has no meaning?
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
Although wherever you are going is always in front of you, there is no such thing as straight ahead.
Jeanette Winterson
Of course, people will laugh at you, but people laugh at a great many things so there is no need to take it personally.
Jeanette Winterson

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
This is not a love story, but love is in it. That is, love is just outside it, looking for a way to break in.
Jeanette Winterson
Don't regret your life, child, it will pass soon enough.
Jeanette Winterson
I think men can really get in the way when you are trying to sort your life out and get on with it. Because they just take up so much space. I'm not under any illusions that I could have been where I am now in literary terms if I had been heterosexual. I really believe I would not be.
Jeanette Winterson
I would eat my way into perdition to taste you.
Jeanette Winterson
My books always begin with a sentence and an image - not necessarily connected.
Jeanette Winterson
We are lucky, even the worst of us, for daylight comes.
Jeanette Winterson
Passion is for holidays, not homecoming.
Jeanette Winterson
I felt like a thief with a bagful of stolen glances.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't own my emotions unless I can think about them. I am not afraid of feeling but I am afraid of feeling unthinkingly. I don't want to drown. My head is my heart's lifebelt.
Jeanette Winterson
There are those who say that temptation can be barricaded beyond the door. The ones who think that stray desires can be driven out of the heart like the moneychangers from the temple. Maybe they can, if you patrol your weak points day and night, don't look, don't smell, don't dream.
Jeanette Winterson
