More quotes by Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
Knowing that books are something that is hidden, that almost has that alchemical quality to it. There is a secret society in here, and if you belong to it, you'll be able to transform your lead into gold. I have that rather magical sense about books - that they do, somehow, have special powers.
Jeanette Winterson
What is more humiliating than finding the object of your love unworthy?

Jeanette Winterson
Are we all living like this? Two lives, the ideal outer life and the inner imaginative life where we keep our secrets?
Jeanette Winterson
Only a fool tries to reconstruct a bunch of grapes from a bottle of wine.
Jeanette Winterson
I fell in love once, if love be that cruelty which takes us straight to the gates of Paradise only to remind us they are closed for ever.
Jeanette Winterson
If art, all art, is concerned with truth, then a society in denial will not find much use for it.
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
I hate the word lesbian it tells you nothing its only purpose is to inflame.
Jeanette Winterson
A homosexual is further away from a woman than a rhinoceros.
