More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
The pain is when the dreams change, as they do, as they must.
Jeanette Winterson
It's true that heroes are inspiring, but mustn't they also do some rescuing if they are to be worthy of their name? Would Wonder Woman matter if she only sent commiserating telegrams to the distressed?
Jeanette Winterson
Every word written is a net to catch the word that has escaped.
Jeanette Winterson
Even death after a long illness is without warning. The moment you had prepared for so carefully took you by storm. The troops broke through the window and snatched the body and the body is gone. ... Death reduces us to the baffled logic of a small child. If yesterday why not today?
Jeanette Winterson
We are lucky, even the worst of us, for daylight comes.
Jeanette Winterson
It is a true saying, that what you fear you find.
Jeanette Winterson
She was a monster, but she was my monster.
Jeanette Winterson
When we say we can pull resources away from libraries, from culture, from those parts of the education system that are not about utility, what we are really saying is that the life of the mind is unnecessary.
Jeanette Winterson
The curious are always in some danger. If you are curious you might never come home.
Jeanette Winterson
Everyone thinks their own situation most tragic. I am no exception.
Jeanette Winterson
Why is the measure of love loss?
Jeanette Winterson
I think we are worlds compressed into human form.
Jeanette Winterson
It's not the one thing nor the other that leads to madness, but the space in between.
Jeanette Winterson
...there are two kinds of writing: the one you write and the one that writes you.
Jeanette Winterson
In the space between chaos and shape there was another chance.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't understand why people talk of art as a luxury when it's a mind-altering possibility.
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
Trust me, I'm telling you stories.
Jeanette Winterson
Sometimes I think of you and I feel giddy. Memory makes me lightheaded, drunk on champagne. All the things we did. And if anyone has said this was the price I would have agreed to pay it. That surprises me that with the hurt and the mess comes a shift of recognition. It was worth it. Love is worth it.
Jeanette Winterson
We [fiction writers] are much more of a maze than we are a motorway. Things are always in flux, they're always in movement, they're always twisting back on each other. I think the straight line is such a lie.
Jeanette Winterson
