More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
You're never alone with a book, are you? It's a dialogue.
Jeanette Winterson
People being encouraged to make up their own minds and think for themselves is so important. This world talks endlessly about freedom of choice, but we've never been [nothing] more than a nation of robots. Everybody is seduced by corporate culture.
Jeanette Winterson
Turn up for work. Discipline allows creative freedom. No discipline equals no freedom.
Jeanette Winterson
Meatspace still has some advantages for a carbon-based girl.
Jeanette Winterson
The future is foretold from the past and the future is only possible because of the past. Without past and future, the present is partial. All time is eternally present and so all time is ours. There is no sense in forgetting and every sense in dreaming. Thus the present is made rich.
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.
Jeanette Winterson
That walls should fall is the consequence of blowing your own trumpet.
Jeanette Winterson
What you risk reveals what you value.
Jeanette Winterson
The rebellion of art is a daily rebellion against the state of living death routinely called real life.
Jeanette Winterson
In the space between chaos and shape there was another chance.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't own my emotions unless I can think about them. I am not afraid of feeling but I am afraid of feeling unthinkingly. I don't want to drown. My head is my heart's lifebelt.
Jeanette Winterson
Every word written is a net to catch the word that has escaped.
Jeanette Winterson
Six books… my mother didn’t want books falling into my hands. It never occurred to her that I fell into the books – that I put myself inside them for safe keeping.
Jeanette Winterson
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. What then kills love? Only this: Neglect.
Jeanette Winterson
Writers have to have a knack for listening. I need to be able to hear what is being said to me by the voices I create.
Jeanette Winterson
As people get older they have these rigid patterns that they impose on themselves, and it kills them. They become dull, they become dead to new experience, they become afraid, biased, and bigoted. It's really simply to do with refusing new experience.
Jeanette Winterson
But not all dark places need light, I have to remember that.
Jeanette Winterson
No emotion is the final one.
Jeanette Winterson
I know I've had an unusual beginning and a colourful life, but that wouldn't matter if I couldn't make it speak to other people.
Jeanette Winterson
Perhaps all romance is like that not a contract between equal parties but an explosion of dreams and desires that can find no outlet in everyday life. Only a drama will do and while the fireworks last the sky is a different colour.
Jeanette Winterson
