What is more humiliating than finding the object of your love unworthy?
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
Somewhere between fear and sex passion is.
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
It's the cliches that cause the trouble. A precise emotion seeks a precise expression.
Jeanette Winterson
Time that withers you will wither me. We will fall like ripe fruit and roll down the grass together. Dear friend, let me lie beside you watching the clouds until the earth covers us and we are gone.
Jeanette Winterson
