More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
To avoid discovery I stay on the run. To discover things for myself, I stay on the run.
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
No emotion is the final one.
Jeanette Winterson
Trust me, I'm telling you stories.

Jeanette Winterson
The only selfish life is a timid one.
Jeanette Winterson
Art is a foreign city, and we deceive ourselves when we think it familiar. We have to recognize that the language of art, all art, is not our mother tongue.
Jeanette Winterson
Everyone who tells a story tells it differently, just to remind us that everybody sees it differently.
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
Confidence and superiority: It's the usual fundamentalist stuff: I've got the truth, and you haven't.
Jeanette Winterson
You have to engage with people who are different from you and try to work with their thinking and their mind. That's a real challenge.
Jeanette Winterson
A homosexual is further away from a woman than a rhinoceros.
Jeanette Winterson
Unconditional love is what a child should expect from a parent even though it rarely works out that way.
Jeanette Winterson
The curious are always in some danger. If you are curious you might never come home.
Jeanette Winterson
In the library I felt better, words you could trust and look at till you understood them, they couldn't change half way through a sentence like people, so it was easier to spot a lie.
Jeanette Winterson
Every moment you steal from the present is a moment you've lost forever. There is only now.
Jeanette Winterson
It's hard to remember that this day will never come again. That the time is now and the place is here and that there are no second chances at a single moment.
Jeanette Winterson
