More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
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
[Fiction and poetry] are medicines, they're doses, and they heal the rupture that reality makes on the imagination.
Jeanette Winterson
People being encouraged to make up their own minds and think for themselves is so important. This world talks endlessly about freedom of choice, but we've never been [nothing] more than a nation of robots. Everybody is seduced by corporate culture.
Jeanette Winterson
Whether you want to call it God or the mystery of the cosmos doesn't matter to me.
Jeanette Winterson
She was a monster, but she was my monster.
Jeanette Winterson
And you? Now that I have discovered you? Beautiful, dangerous, unleashed. Still I try to hold you, knowing that your body is faced with knives.
Jeanette Winterson
Even the most solid of things, and the most real, the best-loved and the well-known, are only hand shadows on the wall. Empty space and points of light.
Jeanette Winterson
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.
Jeanette Winterson
I have a head for heights it's true, but no stomach for the depths. Strange then to have plumbed so many.
Jeanette Winterson
I had huge ambition for literature. I don't see the point of doing anything if you don't have ambition for it.
Jeanette Winterson
I wanted to cause trouble, but I know now it stays with you.
Jeanette Winterson
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.
Jeanette Winterson
I fell into the books, and left myself there for safekeeping.
Jeanette Winterson
Part broken - part whole, you begin again. ( from 'Why books seem shockproof against change.' THE TIMES: BOOKS)
Jeanette Winterson
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
Books and doors are the same thing. You open them, and you go through into another world.
Jeanette Winterson
I have no idea what happens next.
Jeanette Winterson
Darkness as well as light. Or do I mean darkness, another kind of light? Lucifer would say so, and I have a weakness for fallen angels.
Jeanette Winterson
Turn up for work. Discipline allows creative freedom. No discipline equals no freedom.
Jeanette Winterson
I believe in communication books communicate ideas and make bridges between people.
