More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
Always in my books, I like to throw that rogue element into a stable situation and then see what happens.
Jeanette Winterson
I live alone, with cats, books, pictures, fresh vegetables to cook, the garden, the hens to feed.
Jeanette Winterson
Even the most solid of things, and the most real, the best-loved and the well-known, are only hand shadows on the wall. Empty space and points of light.
Jeanette Winterson
You're never alone with a book, are you? It's a dialogue.
Jeanette Winterson
Freud, one of the grand masters of narrative, knew that the past is not fixed in the way that linear time suggests. We can return. We can pick up what we dropped. We can mend what others broke. We can talk with the dead.
Jeanette Winterson
I have a theory that every time you make an important choice, the part of you left behind continues the other life you could have had.
Jeanette Winterson
I had relationships with men as well as women. I wasn't choosing I didn't think I had to.
Jeanette Winterson
The curious are always in some danger. If you are curious you might never come home.
Jeanette Winterson
There are voices and they must be heard.
Jeanette Winterson
We shall all die, and our lives will be irrelevant then.
Jeanette Winterson
The truth is I am inventing the maybe. I can only make the choices I make, so why torture myself with what I might have done, when all I can handle is what I have done? The Maybe Islands are hostile to human life.
Jeanette Winterson
The stories we sit up late to hear are love stories. It seems that we cannot know enough about this riddle of our lives. We go back and back to the same scenes, the same words, trying to scrape out the meaning. Nothing could be more familiar than love. Nothing else eludes us so completely.
Jeanette Winterson
The rebellion of art is a daily rebellion against the state of living death routinely called real life.
Jeanette Winterson
Creative work is incredibly difficult, and that is where the tests lie. Ordinary professionalism and twenty years' experience can accomplish a lot, but it can't access the hidden places. That still needs what it always needs - a condition of complete simplicity, costing not less than everything.
Jeanette Winterson
What you risk reveals what you value.
Jeanette Winterson
Their throats were bare for God.
Jeanette Winterson
I need to be able to hear what is being said to me by the voices I create. Just on the other side of creativity is the nuthouse - and I often notice people looking at me strangely when I am talking out loud, but there is no other way.
Jeanette Winterson
It is helpful for a woman artist not to have a husband.
Jeanette Winterson
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
I have a head for heights it's true, but no stomach for the depths. Strange then to have plumbed so many.
Jeanette Winterson
