More quotes by Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
I've never been tempted by God but I like his trappings.
Jeanette Winterson
Tell me a story, Pew. What kind of story, child? A story with a happy ending. There’s no such thing in all the world. As a happy ending? As an ending.
Jeanette Winterson
You're never alone with a book, are you? It's a dialogue.
Jeanette Winterson
There is no discovery without risk and what you risk reveals what you value.

Jeanette Winterson
I go on writing so that I will always have something to read.
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
Perhaps all romance is like that not a contract between equal parties but an explosion of dreams and desires that can find no outlet in everyday life. Only a drama will do and while the fireworks last the sky is a different colour.
Jeanette Winterson
When a woman gives birth her waters break and she pours out the child and the child runs free.
Jeanette Winterson
I need to be able to hear what is being said to me by the voices I create. Just on the other side of creativity is the nuthouse - and I often notice people looking at me strangely when I am talking out loud, but there is no other way.
Jeanette Winterson
Somewhere between fear and sex passion is.
Jeanette Winterson
Life was a pre-death experience.
Jeanette Winterson
