More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
What is more humiliating than finding the object of your love unworthy?
Jeanette Winterson
In the presence of love, hearth and quest become one.
Jeanette Winterson
Books and doors are the same thing. You open them, and you go through into another world.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't believe in happy endings.
Jeanette Winterson
I have met a great many people on their way towards God and I wonder why they have chosen to look for him rather than themselves.
Jeanette Winterson
I am a writer who happens to love women. I am not a lesbian who happens to write.
Jeanette Winterson
Part fact part fiction is what life is. And it is always a cover story. I wrote my way out.
Jeanette Winterson
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
..to change something you do not understand is the true nature of evil.
Jeanette Winterson
Every second the Universe divides into possibilities and most of those possibilities never happen. It is not a uni-verse -- there is more than one reading. The story won't stop, can't stop, it goes on telling itself, waiting for an intervention that changes what will happen next.
Jeanette Winterson
There is no discovery without risk and what you risk reveals what you value.
Jeanette Winterson
Stories end in reverie, tragedy, or forgiveness.
Jeanette Winterson
Passion is for holidays, not homecoming.
Jeanette Winterson
I walked out to brood on this life of ours, which seems from birth to death to be a steady loss, disguised by sudden gains and happiness, which persuade us of good fortune, when all the while the glass is emptying.
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
He: What’s the matter with you? Me: Nothing. Nothing was slowly clotting my arteries. Nothing slowly numbing my soul. Caught by nothing, saying nothing, nothingness becomes me. When I am nothing they will say surprised in the way that they are forever surprised, but there was nothing the matter with her.
Jeanette Winterson
The truth is I am inventing the maybe. I can only make the choices I make, so why torture myself with what I might have done, when all I can handle is what I have done? The Maybe Islands are hostile to human life.
Jeanette Winterson
I think men can really get in the way when you are trying to sort your life out and get on with it. Because they just take up so much space. I'm not under any illusions that I could have been where I am now in literary terms if I had been heterosexual. I really believe I would not be.
Jeanette Winterson
If you continually write and read yourself as a fiction, you can change what's crushing you.
Jeanette Winterson
It's the cliches that cause the trouble. A precise emotion seeks a precise expression.
