More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
When a woman gives birth her waters break and she pours out the child and the child runs free.
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
Although wherever you are going is always in front of you, there is no such thing as straight ahead.
Jeanette Winterson
The only sex education my mother ever gave me was the injunction: 'Never let a boy touch you down there.' I had no idea what she meant. She seemed to be referring to my knees.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't understand why people talk of art as a luxury when it's a mind-altering possibility.
Jeanette Winterson
To avoid discovery I stay on the run. To discover things for myself, I stay on the run.
Jeanette Winterson
It is helpful for a woman artist not to have a husband.
Jeanette Winterson
Some people are happy when they are at the sea I'm happy when I'm standing in front of a shelf of books. It feels like the known place and also the beginning of a new adventure. It has that simultaneous paradoxical effect of making me feel absolutely calm and very excited.
Jeanette Winterson
Make three wishes and they shall all come true. Make three hundred and I will honour every one
Jeanette Winterson
Very often history is a means of denying the past.
Jeanette Winterson
Love's lengthways splits the heart in two - the heart where you are, the heart where you want to be.
Jeanette Winterson
No emotion is the final one.
Jeanette Winterson
Art is a foreign city, and we deceive ourselves when we think it familiar. We have to recognize that the language of art, all art, is not our mother tongue.
Jeanette Winterson
I would rather have regrets of excess than regrets of denial.
Jeanette Winterson
The only selfish life is a timid one.
Jeanette Winterson
We live in a world of buy it or leave it. Love does not signify.
Jeanette Winterson
I used to think marriage was a plate-glass window just begging for a brick.
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
It is a true saying, that what you fear you find.
Jeanette Winterson
I didn’t want to tell the story of myself, but someone I called myself. If you read yourself as fiction, it’s rather more liberating than reading yourself as fact.
Jeanette Winterson
