More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
I think it would be very foolish not to take the irrational seriously.
Jeanette Winterson
A bridge is a meeting place . . . a possibility, a metaphor.
Jeanette Winterson
The universe has no sides, no end, can't be mapped. Enough to make a man talk about God, make a man superstitious and worship an idol. The science never gets as far as the strangeness.
Jeanette Winterson
I'm always nervous about going home, just as I am nervous about rereading books that have meant a lot to me.
Jeanette Winterson
I have no idea what happens next.
Jeanette Winterson
The ancients believed in fate because they recognized how hard it is for anyone to change anything. The pull of past and future is so strong that the present is crushed by it. We lie helpless in the force of patterns inherited and patterns re-enacted by our own behavior. The burden is intolerable.
Jeanette Winterson
And you? Now that I have discovered you? Beautiful, dangerous, unleashed. Still I try to hold you, knowing that your body is faced with knives.
Jeanette Winterson
I had relationships with men as well as women. I wasn't choosing I didn't think I had to.
Jeanette Winterson
Turn up for work. Discipline allows creative freedom. No discipline equals no freedom.
Jeanette Winterson
Working-class families in the north of England used to hear the 1611 Bible regularly at church and at home ... for us, the language didn't seem too difficult. I especially liked 'the quick and the dead' - you really get a feel for the difference if you live in a house with mice and a mousetrap.
Jeanette Winterson
The fact is that every atom that we're made of is part of that first explosion of a nuclear star billions of years ago. We're connected to the entire universe.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't want to conquer you I just want to climb you.
Jeanette Winterson
I am much better at saying how I feel when I no longer feel it.
Jeanette Winterson
There's no such thing as autobiography, there's only art and lies
Jeanette Winterson
the buddhists say there are 149 ways to god. i'm not looking for god, only for myself, and that is far more complicated.
Jeanette Winterson
There are voices and they must be heard.
Jeanette Winterson
We're living in a homogenized culture where everything is the same, and books are not a homogenized culture. They are extremely varied, and they're eccentric because they are the product of an individual mind. They are not, in any way, mediated.
Jeanette Winterson
She was a monster, but she was my monster.
Jeanette Winterson
Although wherever you are going is always in front of you, there is no such thing as straight ahead.
Jeanette Winterson
Part fact part fiction is what life is. And it is always a cover story. I wrote my way out.
Jeanette Winterson
