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
Every moment you steal from the present is a moment you've lost forever. There is only now.
Jeanette Winterson
The rebellion of art is a daily rebellion against the state of living death routinely called real life.
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'm always nervous about going home, just as I am nervous about rereading books that have meant a lot to me.
Jeanette Winterson
I want to be an art-hero - I want to change the form of the novel.
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
How is it that one day life is orderly and you are content, a little cynical perhaps but on the whole just so, and then without warning you find the solid floor is a trapdoor and you are now in another place whose geography is uncertain and whose customs are strange?
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
Love ... Just Nature's way of getting one person to pay the bills for another person.
Jeanette Winterson
Slightest accidents open up new worlds.
Jeanette Winterson
Reading things that are relevant to the facts of your life is of limited value. The facts are, after all, only the facts, and the yearning passionate part of you will not be met there. That is why reading ourselves as a fiction as well as fact is so liberating. The wider we read the freer we become.
Jeanette Winterson
For fate may hang on any moment and at any moment be changed.
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
To be ill adjusted to a deranged world is not a breakdown.
Jeanette Winterson
In a world where meaning is often absent or imposed, reading offers a dialogue with ourselves, with society, with history, and with the dead.
