Jeanette Winterson
For fate may hang on any moment and at any moment be changed.

Cheating is easy. There's no swank to infidelity. To borrow against the trust someone has placed in you costs nothing at first. You get away with it, you take a little more and a little more until there is no more to draw on. Oddly, your hands should be full with all that taking but when you open them there's nothing there.
Jeanette Winterson
Although wherever you are going is always in front of you, there is no such thing as straight ahead.
Jeanette Winterson
There is no sense in loving someone you can never wake up to except by chance.
Jeanette Winterson
My books always begin with a sentence and an image - not necessarily connected.
