More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
What is more humiliating than finding the object of your love unworthy?
Jeanette Winterson
Books and doors are the same thing. You open them, and you go through into another world.
Jeanette Winterson
Even the most solid of things, and the most real, the best-loved and the well-known, are only hand shadows on the wall. Empty space and points of light.
Jeanette Winterson
There are so many separate selves no one who writes creatively hasn't felt that.
Jeanette Winterson
I go on writing so that I will always have something to read.
Jeanette Winterson
Words are the part of silence that can be spoken.
Jeanette Winterson
Reading is where the wild things are.
Jeanette Winterson
Fragile creatures of a small blue planet, surrounded by light years of silent space.
Jeanette Winterson
Every moment you steal from the present is a moment you've lost forever. There is only now.
Jeanette Winterson
No emotion is the final one.
Jeanette Winterson
Darkness as well as light. Or do I mean darkness, another kind of light? Lucifer would say so, and I have a weakness for fallen angels.
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
Not much touches us, but we long to be touched. We lie awake at night willing the darkness to part and show us a vision.
Jeanette Winterson
What you risk reveals what you value.
Jeanette Winterson
You don't get over it because 'it' is the person you loved.
Jeanette Winterson
I fell into the books, and left myself there for safekeeping.
Jeanette Winterson
The only sex education my mother ever gave me was the injunction: 'Never let a boy touch you down there.' I had no idea what she meant. She seemed to be referring to my knees.
Jeanette Winterson
Always in my books, I like to throw that rogue element into a stable situation and then see what happens.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't want to eke out my life like a resource in short supply. The only selfish life is a timid one. To hold back, to withdraw, to keep the best in reserve, both overvalues the self, and undervalues what the self is.
Jeanette Winterson
Part fact part fiction is what life is. And it is always a cover story. I wrote my way out.
Jeanette Winterson
