More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
What are you that makes me feel thus? Who are you for whom time has no meaning?
Jeanette Winterson
I think heterosexuality and homosexuality are a kind of psychosis, and the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Jeanette Winterson
I think of love as a force of nature-as strog as the sun, as necessary, as impersonal, as gigantic, as impossible, as scorching as it is warming,as drought-making as it is life-giving.
Jeanette Winterson
I think of myself in a continuum as a woman. Two hundred years ago, it would have been very difficult for me to write at all.
Jeanette Winterson
Passion is for holidays, not homecoming.
Jeanette Winterson
Everyone thinks their own situation most tragic. I am no exception.
Jeanette Winterson
I dream of flight, not to be as the angels are, but to rise above the smallness of it all. The smallnesss that I am. Against the daily death the iconography of wings.

Jeanette Winterson
Fragile creatures of a small blue planet, surrounded by light years of silent space.
Jeanette Winterson
I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you. For me, imagination and desire are very close.
Jeanette Winterson
Gambling is not a vice, it is an expression of our humanness. We gamble. Some do it at the gaming table, some do not. You play, you win, you play, you lose. You play.
Jeanette Winterson
Everyone who tells a story tells it differently, just to remind us that everybody sees it differently.
Jeanette Winterson
I never wanted children. If I'd been deeply in love with a man and he'd wanted children, it would have been difficult.
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
I don't understand why people talk of art as a luxury when it's a mind-altering possibility.
Jeanette Winterson
In a world where meaning is often absent or imposed, reading offers a dialogue with ourselves, with society, with history, and with the dead.
Jeanette Winterson
