Happy Valentines Day to those who have found love, in whatever shape or form, and to those who are still hunting, don't give up. If you feel bad, send yourself a card. You must be worth it.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
I think we are worlds compressed into human form.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Life cannot be calculated. That's the big mistake our civilization made. We never accepted that randomness is not a mistake in the equation -- it is part of the equation.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
I lay there, stretched out, looking at the one star visible through the tiny window of the room. Only connect. How can you do that when the connections are broken?
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
Image

Jeanette Winterson
Image
For fate may hang on any moment and at any moment be changed.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
I like to think the price I paid by being open about my private life helped.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
History is not a suicide note -- it is a record of our survival.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
I'm always nervous about going home, just as I am nervous about rereading books that have meant a lot to me.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
A character has a distinctive voice - you should be able to hear them in your head and conduct a conversation with them while you're out walking. If the answers surprise you, you know it's the character speaking and not you.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
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
Image
You said, 'I love you.' Why is it that the most unoriginal thing we can say to one another is still the thing we long to hear?
Jeanette Winterson
Image
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.

We're living in a homogenized culture where everything is the same, and books are not a homogenized culture. They are extremely varied, and they're eccentric because they are the product of an individual mind. They are not, in any way, mediated.
