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.

Why is the mind incapable of deciding its own subject matter? Why when we desperately want to think of one thing to we invariably think of another?
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Don't regret your life, child, it will pass soon enough.

Image
I am a writer who happens to love women. I am not a lesbian who happens to write.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
I have found that I am not a space where people want to live, at least not without decorating first.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
I go on writing so that I will always have something to read.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
...there are two kinds of writing: the one you write and the one that writes you.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Tell me a story, Pew. What kind of story, child? A story with a happy ending. There’s no such thing in all the world. As a happy ending? As an ending.

To avoid discovery I stay on the run. To discover things for myself, I stay on the run.
