He doubted her. You must never doubt the one you love. But they might not be telling the truth. Never mind that. You tell them the truth. What do you mean? You can't be another person's honesty, child, but you can be your own. So what should I say? When? When I love someone? You should say it.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Not much touches us, but we long to be touched. We lie awake at night willing the darkness to part and show us a vision.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
We are lucky, even the worst of us, for daylight comes.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Age is information failure. The body loses fluency.
Jeanette Winterson
