I know now, after fifty years, that the finding/losing, forgetting/remembering, leaving/returning, never stops. The whole of life is about another chance, and while we are alive, till the very end, there is always another chance.
Jeanette Winterson

More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
I think every work of art is an act of faith, or we wouldn't bother to do it. It is a message in a bottle, a shout in the dark. It's saying, 'I'm here and I believe that you are somewhere and that you will answer if necessary across time, not necessarily in my lifetime.'
Jeanette Winterson
I've never been tempted by God but I like his trappings.
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
Make three wishes and they shall all come true. Make three hundred and I will honour every one
Jeanette Winterson
Don't regret your life, child, it will pass soon enough.
Jeanette Winterson
What is it that you contain? The Dead. Time. Light patterns of millennia. The expanding universe opening in your gut. Are your twenty-three feet of intestines loaded with stars?
Jeanette Winterson
Not much touches us, but we long to be touched. We lie awake at night willing the darkness to part and show us a vision.
Jeanette Winterson
She must find a boat and sail in it. No guarantee of shore. Only a conviction that what she wanted could exist, if she dared to find it.
Jeanette Winterson
It's the cliches that cause the trouble. A precise emotion seeks a precise expression.
Jeanette Winterson
This is a quantum universe ... neither random nor determined. It is potential at every second. All you can do is intervene.
Jeanette Winterson
A homosexual is further away from a woman than a rhinoceros.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't want to eke out my life like a resource in short supply. The only selfish life is a timid one. To hold back, to withdraw, to keep the best in reserve, both overvalues the self, and undervalues what the self is.
Jeanette Winterson
She was a monster, but she was my monster.
Jeanette Winterson
I would rather have regrets of excess than regrets of denial.
Jeanette Winterson
The key to happiness ... is tolerance of those who do not do as you do.
Jeanette Winterson
A curse on this game. How can you stick at a game when the rules keep on changing? I shall call myself Alice and play croquet with the flamingos. In Wonderland everyone cheats and love is Wonderland, isn't it?
Jeanette Winterson
The rebellion of art is a daily rebellion against the state of living death routinely called real life.
Jeanette Winterson
As a writer, if you're prepared to work from your own wound, you're allowing people into the most vulnerable parts of yourself.
Jeanette Winterson
We're in a strange situation where people either don't read at all or they read a lot. There's a huge gap in between. That's something that would be good to bridge so it doesn't have to be one thing or the other. Books could be part of life in a more relaxed way. I'd like to see that.
Jeanette Winterson
I think we are worlds compressed into human form.
