More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you. For me, imagination and desire are very close.
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 think of myself in a continuum as a woman. Two hundred years ago, it would have been very difficult for me to write at all.
Jeanette Winterson
The pain is when the dreams change, as they do, as they must.
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
We shall all die, and our lives will be irrelevant then.
Jeanette Winterson
I have found that I am not a space where people want to live, at least not without decorating first.
Jeanette Winterson
Knowing that books are something that is hidden, that almost has that alchemical quality to it. There is a secret society in here, and if you belong to it, you'll be able to transform your lead into gold. I have that rather magical sense about books - that they do, somehow, have special powers.
Jeanette Winterson
You don't get over it because 'it' is the person you loved.
Jeanette Winterson
I go on writing so that I will always have something to read.
Jeanette Winterson
Even the most solid of things, and the most real, the best-loved and the well-known, are only hand shadows on the wall. Empty space and points of light.
Jeanette Winterson
I was happy but happy is an adult word. You don't have to ask a child about happy, you see it. They are or they are not. Adults talk about being happy because largely they are not. Talking about it is the same as trying to catch the wind. Much easier to let it blow all over you.
Jeanette Winterson
I am not tempted by God but I love his trappings.
Jeanette Winterson
Reading things that are relevant to the facts of your life is of limited value. The facts are, after all, only the facts, and the yearning passionate part of you will not be met there. That is why reading ourselves as a fiction as well as fact is so liberating. The wider we read the freer we become.
Jeanette Winterson
I fell in love once, if love be that cruelty which takes us straight to the gates of Paradise only to remind us they are closed for ever.
Jeanette Winterson
Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it.
Jeanette Winterson
Their throats were bare for God.
Jeanette Winterson
Part fact part fiction is what life is. And it is always a cover story. I wrote my way out.
Jeanette Winterson
I care about doing the work as best as I can do, and that it should go on reaching people. It's not about fame and it's not about me. It's about creating something that might allow someone else to create something.
Jeanette Winterson
But not all dark places need light, I have to remember that.
Jeanette Winterson
