More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
The curious are always in some danger. If you are curious you might never come home.
Jeanette Winterson
When I look at my life I realise that the mistakes I have made, the things I really regret, were not errors of judgement but failures of feeling.
Jeanette Winterson
When she bleeds the smells I know change colour. There is iron in her soul on those days. She smells like a gun.
Jeanette Winterson
Gambling is not a vice, it is an expression of our humanness. We gamble. Some do it at the gaming table, some do not. You play, you win, you play, you lose. You play.
Jeanette Winterson
I felt like a thief with a bagful of stolen glances.
Jeanette Winterson
If art, all art, is concerned with truth, then a society in denial will not find much use for it.
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
Sometimes you have to live in precarious and temporary places. Unsuitable places. Wrong places. Sometimes the safe place won't help you.
Jeanette Winterson
I am good at walking away. Rejection teaches you how to reject.
Jeanette Winterson
Somewhere between fear and sex passion is.
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
What is remembered is not a deed in stone but a metaphor. Meta = above. Pheren = to carry. That which is carried above the literalness of life. A way of thinking that avoids the problems of gravity. The word won't let me down. The single word that can release me from all that unuttered weight.
Jeanette Winterson
The future is foretold from the past and the future is only possible because of the past. Without past and future, the present is partial. All time is eternally present and so all time is ours. There is no sense in forgetting and every sense in dreaming. Thus the present is made rich.
Jeanette Winterson
When pieces of work speak to us in a way that feels as if they were made just for us, those become our private worlds that we return to.
Jeanette Winterson
Do all lovers feel helpless and valiant in the presence of the beloved? Helpless because the need to roll over like a pet dog is never far away. Valiant because you know you would slay a dragon with a pocket knife if you had to.
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
There is no sense in loving someone you can never wake up to except by chance.
Jeanette Winterson
Although wherever you are going is always in front of you, there is no such thing as straight ahead.
Jeanette Winterson
I believe in communication books communicate ideas and make bridges between people.
Jeanette Winterson
I am not tempted by God but I love his trappings.
