Books and doors are the same thing. You open them, and you go through into another world.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Life was a pre-death experience.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
The journey is not linear, it is always back and forth, denying the calendar, the wrinkles and lines of the body.
Jeanette Winterson

Books, for me, are a home. Books don’t make a home – they are one, in the sense that just as you do with a door, you open a book, and you go inside. Inside there is a different kind of time and a different kind of space.

I don't understand why people talk of art as a luxury when it's a mind-altering possibility.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
I don't own my emotions unless I can think about them. I am not afraid of feeling but I am afraid of feeling unthinkingly. I don't want to drown. My head is my heart's lifebelt.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Adults talk about being happy because largely they are not.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Anything outside marriage seems like freedom and excitement.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Writing objects to the lie that life is small. Writing is a cell of energy. Writing defines itself. Writing draws its viewer in for longer than an instant. Writing exhibits boldness. Writing restores power to exalt, unnerve, shock, and transform us. Writing does not imitate life, it anticipates life.

When pieces of work speak to us in a way that feels as if they were made just for us, those become our private worlds that we return to.
