I don't read reviews because by then it's too late - whatever anyone says, the book won't change. It is written.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Men will gamble and plot and fight and fall, all for the winning of a trophy. A woman's heart, a piece of land, a kingdom, a lordship, a contract, a ship, an egg -- it hardly matters the which or the what, as soon as it is seen to be desired by one, another will make a prize of it.

Image
We heal up through being loved, and through loving others. We don't heal by forming a secret society of one - by assessing about the only other 'one' we might admit, and being doomed to disappointment.

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.

A homosexual is further away from a woman than a rhinoceros.

There are voices and they must be heard.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
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.

Everyone thinks their own situation most tragic. I am no exception.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Marriage is the flimsiest weapon against desire. You may as well take a pop-gun to a python.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
I have noticed that doing the sensible thing is only a good idea when the decision is quite small. For the life-changing things, you must risk it.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Always in my books, I like to throw that rogue element into a stable situation and then see what happens.
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.

History is not a suicide note -- it is a record of our survival.
