Do you fall in love often? Yes often. With a view, with a book, with a dog, a cat, with numbers, with friends, with complete strangers, with nothing at all.

More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
The pain is when the dreams change, as they do, as they must.
Jeanette Winterson
Are we all living like this? Two lives, the ideal outer life and the inner imaginative life where we keep our secrets?
Jeanette Winterson
I don't see myself as some kind of lone figure standing out there and doing my work in solitary splendour, but as part of the human condition and part of the continuum of writers.
Jeanette Winterson
What are you that makes me feel thus? Who are you for whom time has no meaning?
Jeanette Winterson
I feel in colour, strong tones that I hue down for the comfort of the pastelly inclined. Beige and magnolia and a hint of pink are what the well-decorated heart is wearing who wants my blood red and vein-blue?
Jeanette Winterson
I didn’t want to tell the story of myself, but someone I called myself. If you read yourself as fiction, it’s rather more liberating than reading yourself as fact.
Jeanette Winterson
The rebellion of art is a daily rebellion against the state of living death routinely called real life.
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
How many of us want any of us to see us as we really are?
Jeanette Winterson
...there are two kinds of writing: the one you write and the one that writes you.
Jeanette Winterson
The world is surely wide enough to walk without fear.
Jeanette Winterson
It's the cliches that cause the trouble. A precise emotion seeks a precise expression.
Jeanette Winterson
Misery pulls away the brackets of life leaving you to free fall.
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
We fear passion and laugh at too much love and those who love too much. And still we long to feel.
Jeanette Winterson
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.
Jeanette Winterson
Very often history is a means of denying the past.
Jeanette Winterson
If people aren't educated, they can't question. If they can't question, they can't change anything, which is great for the status quo and all the people who can question them at their own level.
Jeanette Winterson
There must be some part of Man that is more than his daily round. Some part of him that will use his profit on a matter of no profit.
Jeanette Winterson
I used to think marriage was a plate-glass window just begging for a brick.
Jeanette Winterson
