More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
There are voices and they must be heard.
Jeanette Winterson
Capitalism is like Japanese Knotweed: nothing kills it off. If there were only two people left on the planet, one of them would find a way of making money out of the other.
Jeanette Winterson
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
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
I say I'm in love with her. What does that mean? It means I review my future and my past in the light of this feeling. It is as though I wrote in a foreign language that I am suddenly able to read. Wordlessly, she explains me to myself. LIke genius she is ignorant of what she does.
Jeanette Winterson
I think it would be very foolish not to take the irrational seriously.
Jeanette Winterson
What is it that you contain? The Dead. Time. Light patterns of millennia. The expanding universe opening in your gut. Are your twenty-three feet of intestines loaded with stars?
Jeanette Winterson
The journey is not linear, it is always back and forth, denying the calendar, the wrinkles and lines of the body.
