More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
I think every work of art is an act of faith, or we wouldn't bother to do it. It is a message in a bottle, a shout in the dark. It's saying, 'I'm here and I believe that you are somewhere and that you will answer if necessary across time, not necessarily in my lifetime.'
Jeanette Winterson
I need to be able to hear what is being said to me by the voices I create. Just on the other side of creativity is the nuthouse - and I often notice people looking at me strangely when I am talking out loud, but there is no other way.
Jeanette Winterson
Somewhere between fear and sex passion is.
Jeanette Winterson
If art, all art, is concerned with truth, then a society in denial will not find much use for it.
Jeanette Winterson
The curious are always in some danger. If you are curious you might never come home.
Jeanette Winterson
In a world where meaning is often absent or imposed, reading offers a dialogue with ourselves, with society, with history, and with the dead.
Jeanette Winterson
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
No emotion is the final one.
Jeanette Winterson
Every believer is an anarchist at heart. True believers would rather see governments topple and history rewritten than scuff the cover of their faith.
Jeanette Winterson
Sometimes you have to live in precarious and temporary places. Unsuitable places. Wrong places. Sometimes the safe place won't help you.
Jeanette Winterson
Don't regret your life, child, it will pass soon enough.
Jeanette Winterson
What is it that you contain? The Dead. Time. Light patterns of millennia. The expanding universe opening in your gut. Are your twenty-three feet of intestines loaded with stars?
Jeanette Winterson
A bridge is a meeting place . . . a possibility, a metaphor.
Jeanette Winterson
Marriage is the flimsiest weapon against desire. You may as well take a pop-gun to a python.
Jeanette Winterson
Age is information failure. The body loses fluency.
Jeanette Winterson
The rebellion of art is a daily rebellion against the state of living death routinely called real life.
Jeanette Winterson
Six books… my mother didn’t want books falling into my hands. It never occurred to her that I fell into the books – that I put myself inside them for safe keeping.
Jeanette Winterson
There is no discovery without risk and what you risk reveals what you value.
Jeanette Winterson
You know every cell in our bodies is completely renewed every seven years, so how can we talk about being the same person? We're absolutely not.
Jeanette Winterson
The world is surely wide enough to walk without fear.
