More quotes by 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
Do all lovers feel helpless and valiant in the presence of the beloved? Helpless because the need to roll over like a pet dog is never far away. Valiant because you know you would slay a dragon with a pocket knife if you had to.
Jeanette Winterson

Tell me the story, Pew. . . . It was a woman. You always say that. There's always a woman somewhere, child a princess, a witch, a stepmother, a mermaid, a fairy godmother, or one as wicked as she is beautiful, or as beautiful as she is good. Is that the complete list? Then there is the woman you love. Who's she? That's another story.
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
I have no idea what happens next.
Jeanette Winterson
Very often history is a means of denying the past.
Jeanette Winterson
We live in a world of buy it or leave it. Love does not signify.
Jeanette Winterson
Islands are metaphors of the heart, no matter what poet says otherwise.
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
Y'know, Nature's unpredictable -- that's why we had to tame her. Maybe we went too far, but in principle we made the right decision.
Jeanette Winterson
Slightest accidents open up new worlds.
Jeanette Winterson
Destiny is a worrying concept. I don't want to be fated, I want to choose.
Jeanette Winterson
