Jeanette Winterson
What are you that makes me feel thus? Who are you for whom time has no meaning?
Jeanette Winterson
Capitalism is like Japanese Knotweed: nothing kills it off. If there were only two people left on the planet, one of them would find a way of making money out of the other.
Jeanette Winterson
