More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
It's true that heroes are inspiring, but mustn't they also do some rescuing if they are to be worthy of their name? Would Wonder Woman matter if she only sent commiserating telegrams to the distressed?
Jeanette Winterson
In the economy of the body, the limbic highway takes precedence over the neural pathways. We were designed and built to feel, and there is no thought, no state of mind, that is not also a feeling state. Nobody can feel too much, though many of us work very hard at feeling too little. Feeling is frightening.
Jeanette Winterson
Stories end in reverie, tragedy, or forgiveness.
Jeanette Winterson
To me, life, for all its privations, is a luminous thing. You have to risk it.
Jeanette Winterson
It is a true saying, that what you fear you find.
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
Perhaps all romance is like that not a contract between equal parties but an explosion of dreams and desires that can find no outlet in everyday life. Only a drama will do and while the fireworks last the sky is a different colour.
Jeanette Winterson
We live in a world of buy it or leave it. Love does not signify.
Jeanette Winterson
We shall all die, and our lives will be irrelevant then.
Jeanette Winterson
You don't get over it because 'it' is the person you loved.
Jeanette Winterson
Of course, people will laugh at you, but people laugh at a great many things so there is no need to take it personally.
Jeanette Winterson
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.
Jeanette Winterson
We're living in a homogenized culture where everything is the same, and books are not a homogenized culture. They are extremely varied, and they're eccentric because they are the product of an individual mind. They are not, in any way, mediated.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't know which is worse: to be wrongfully accused or mistakenly understood.
Jeanette Winterson
I wanted to write a new fable and see how many rules you could break.
Jeanette Winterson
Some people are happy when they are at the sea I'm happy when I'm standing in front of a shelf of books. It feels like the known place and also the beginning of a new adventure. It has that simultaneous paradoxical effect of making me feel absolutely calm and very excited.
Jeanette Winterson
Very often history is a means of denying the past.
Jeanette Winterson
Somewhere between fear and sex passion is.
Jeanette Winterson
I think every work of art is an act of faith, or we wouldn't bother to do it. It is a message in a bottle, a shout in the dark. It's saying, 'I'm here and I believe that you are somewhere and that you will answer if necessary across time, not necessarily in my lifetime.'
Jeanette Winterson
There are so many separate selves no one who writes creatively hasn't felt that.
Jeanette Winterson
