More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
I had huge ambition for literature. I don't see the point of doing anything if you don't have ambition for it.
Jeanette Winterson
I seem to have run in a great circle, and met myself again on the starting line.
Jeanette Winterson
There are only three possible endings -aren't there? - to any story: revenge, tragedy or forgiveness. That's it. All stories end like that.
Jeanette Winterson
A curse on this game. How can you stick at a game when the rules keep on changing? I shall call myself Alice and play croquet with the flamingos. In Wonderland everyone cheats and love is Wonderland, isn't it?
Jeanette Winterson
I don't know which is worse: to be wrongfully accused or mistakenly understood.

Jeanette Winterson
The curious are always in some danger. If you are curious you might never come home.
Jeanette Winterson
Age is information failure. The body loses fluency.
Jeanette Winterson
Always in my books, I like to throw that rogue element into a stable situation and then see what happens.
Jeanette Winterson
That is what literature offers—a language powerful enough to say how it is. It isn't a hiding place. It is a finding place.
Jeanette Winterson
Why is the measure of love loss?
Jeanette Winterson
I'm always nervous about going home, just as I am nervous about rereading books that have meant a lot to me.
Jeanette Winterson
I am not tempted by God but I love his trappings.
Jeanette Winterson
Academics love to make theories about a body of work, but each book consumes the writer and is the sum of his or her world.
Jeanette Winterson
History is not a suicide note -- it is a record of our survival.
Jeanette Winterson
Marriage is the flimsiest weapon against desire. You may as well take a pop-gun to a python.
