More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
There are those who say that temptation can be barricaded beyond the door. The ones who think that stray desires can be driven out of the heart like the moneychangers from the temple. Maybe they can, if you patrol your weak points day and night, don't look, don't smell, don't dream.
Jeanette Winterson
Memoir ... satisfies our need for gossip and intimacy, for testimony and confessional, and in this world of spin, offers a truthful account of what it means to succeed or fail, to love and lose, to break your heart and mend it again.
Jeanette Winterson
We're in a strange situation where people either don't read at all or they read a lot. There's a huge gap in between. That's something that would be good to bridge so it doesn't have to be one thing or the other. Books could be part of life in a more relaxed way. I'd like to see that.
Jeanette Winterson
What I want does exist if I dare to find it.
Jeanette Winterson
Love ... Just Nature's way of getting one person to pay the bills for another person.
Jeanette Winterson
It's the cliches that cause the trouble. A precise emotion seeks a precise expression.
Jeanette Winterson
We fear passion and laugh at too much love and those who love too much. And still we long to feel.
Jeanette Winterson
The universe has no sides, no end, can't be mapped. Enough to make a man talk about God, make a man superstitious and worship an idol. The science never gets as far as the strangeness.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't write for any group. I write to bring about a change in consciousness.
Jeanette Winterson
Unconditional love is what a child should expect from a parent even though it rarely works out that way.
Jeanette Winterson
You don't get over it because 'it' is the person you loved.
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 can't catch her by copying her, I can't draw her with a borrowed stencil. She is all the things a lover should be and quite a few a lover should not. Pin her down? She's not a butterfly. I'm not a wrestler. She's not a target. I'm not a gun. Tell you what she is? She's not Lot no. 27 and I'm not one to brag.
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
Y'know, Nature's unpredictable -- that's why we had to tame her. Maybe we went too far, but in principle we made the right decision.
Jeanette Winterson
History is not a suicide note -- it is a record of our survival.
Jeanette Winterson
As a writer, if you're prepared to work from your own wound, you're allowing people into the most vulnerable parts of yourself.
Jeanette Winterson
How easy it is to destroy the past and how difficult to forget it.
Jeanette Winterson
I had relationships with men as well as women. I wasn't choosing I didn't think I had to.
Jeanette Winterson
Woolf wanted to say dangerous things in Orlando but she did not want to say them in the missionary position.
