The universe has no sides, no end, can't be mapped. Enough to make a man talk about God, make a man superstitious and worship an idol. The science never gets as far as the strangeness.

More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
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
Are we all living like this? Two lives, the ideal outer life and the inner imaginative life where we keep our secrets?
Jeanette Winterson
It's the cliches that cause the trouble. A precise emotion seeks a precise expression.
Jeanette Winterson
I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you. For me, imagination and desire are very close.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't understand why people talk of art as a luxury when it's a mind-altering possibility.
Jeanette Winterson
When I say 'I will be true to you' I am drawing a quiet space beyond the reach of other desires.
Jeanette Winterson
I know now, after fifty years, that the finding/losing, forgetting/remembering, leaving/returning, never stops. The whole of life is about another chance, and while we are alive, till the very end, there is always another chance.
Jeanette Winterson
Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it.
Jeanette Winterson
In the space between chaos and shape there was another chance.
Jeanette Winterson
I would eat my way into perdition to taste you.
Jeanette Winterson
Tell me the story, Pew. . . . It was a woman. You always say that. There's always a woman somewhere, child a princess, a witch, a stepmother, a mermaid, a fairy godmother, or one as wicked as she is beautiful, or as beautiful as she is good. Is that the complete list? Then there is the woman you love. Who's she? That's another story.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't know which is worse: to be wrongfully accused or mistakenly understood.
Jeanette Winterson
[Fiction and poetry] are medicines, they're doses, and they heal the rupture that reality makes on the imagination.
Jeanette Winterson
Creativity is on the side of health - it isn't the thing that drives us mad it is the capacity in us that tries to save us from madness.
Jeanette Winterson
What is more humiliating than finding the object of your love unworthy?
Jeanette Winterson
I am good at walking away. Rejection teaches you how to reject.
Jeanette Winterson
I didn’t want to tell the story of myself, but someone I called myself. If you read yourself as fiction, it’s rather more liberating than reading yourself as fact.
Jeanette Winterson
I feel in colour, strong tones that I hue down for the comfort of the pastelly inclined. Beige and magnolia and a hint of pink are what the well-decorated heart is wearing who wants my blood red and vein-blue?
Jeanette Winterson
I am much better at saying how I feel when I no longer feel it.
Jeanette Winterson
If you continually write and read yourself as a fiction, you can change what's crushing you.
Jeanette Winterson
