Slightest accidents open up new worlds.
Jeanette Winterson
Trust me, I'm telling you stories.
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
It is helpful for a woman artist not to have a husband.
Jeanette Winterson
Marriage is the flimsiest weapon against desire. You may as well take a pop-gun to a python.

Capitalism is like Japanese Knotweed: nothing kills it off. If there were only two people left on the planet, one of them would find a way of making money out of the other.
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
You said, 'I love you.' Why is it that the most unoriginal thing we can say to one another is still the thing we long to hear?
Jeanette Winterson
Men will gamble and plot and fight and fall, all for the winning of a trophy. A woman's heart, a piece of land, a kingdom, a lordship, a contract, a ship, an egg -- it hardly matters the which or the what, as soon as it is seen to be desired by one, another will make a prize of it.
Jeanette Winterson

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

Jeanette Winterson
History is not a suicide note -- it is a record of our survival.
Jeanette Winterson
As far as I was concerned men were something you had around the place, not particularly interesting, but quite harmless. I had never shown the slightest feeling for them, and apart from my never wearing a skirt, saw nothing else in common between us.
Jeanette Winterson
I am not tempted by God but I love his trappings.
Jeanette Winterson
It's the cliches that cause the trouble. A precise emotion seeks a precise expression.
Jeanette Winterson
Age is information failure. The body loses fluency.
Jeanette Winterson
