More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
But not all dark places need light, I have to remember that.
Jeanette Winterson
I have a theory that every time you make an important choice, the part of you left behind continues the other life you could have had.
Jeanette Winterson
Although wherever you are going is always in front of you, there is no such thing as straight ahead.
Jeanette Winterson
I believe in communication books communicate ideas and make bridges between people.
Jeanette Winterson
I know I've had an unusual beginning and a colourful life, but that wouldn't matter if I couldn't make it speak to other people.
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
Meatspace still has some advantages for a carbon-based girl.
Jeanette Winterson
If people aren't educated, they can't question. If they can't question, they can't change anything, which is great for the status quo and all the people who can question them at their own level.
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
Your weak point is the open, vulnerable place where you can always be hurt. Love, in all its aspects, opens the self so fully.
Jeanette Winterson
The only selfish life is a timid one.
Jeanette Winterson
I think heterosexuality and homosexuality are a kind of psychosis, and the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Jeanette Winterson
I know now, after fifty years, that the finding/losing, forgetting/remembering, leaving/returning, never stops. The whole of life is about another chance, and while we are alive, till the very end, there is always another chance.
Jeanette Winterson
There are so many separate selves no one who writes creatively hasn't felt that.
Jeanette Winterson
When she bleeds the smells I know change colour. There is iron in her soul on those days. She smells like a gun.
Jeanette Winterson
There's something about the authenticity rather than the autobiography that makes my story and my pain move across and become your story and your pain.
Jeanette Winterson
Confidence and superiority: It's the usual fundamentalist stuff: I've got the truth, and you haven't.
Jeanette Winterson
It may be that you are settled in another place it may be that you are happy but the one who took your heart wields final power.
Jeanette Winterson
There must be some part of Man that is more than his daily round. Some part of him that will use his profit on a matter of no profit.
Jeanette Winterson
I like being on my own better than I like anything else, but I can't give up love. Maybe it's the tension between longing and aloneness that I need. My own funicular railway, holding in balance the two things most likely to destroy me.
Jeanette Winterson
