More quotes by 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
There is no greater grief than to find no happiness, but happiness in what is past.
Jeanette Winterson
I felt like a thief with a bagful of stolen glances.
Jeanette Winterson
Misery pulls away the brackets of life leaving you to free fall.
Jeanette Winterson
In the space between chaos and shape there was another chance.
Jeanette Winterson
We're in a strange situation where people either don't read at all or they read a lot. There's a huge gap in between. That's something that would be good to bridge so it doesn't have to be one thing or the other. Books could be part of life in a more relaxed way. I'd like to see that.
Jeanette Winterson
There are voices and they must be heard.
Jeanette Winterson
Love's lengthways splits the heart in two - the heart where you are, the heart where you want to be.
Jeanette Winterson
Adults talk about being happy because largely they are not.
Jeanette Winterson
How is it that one day life is orderly and you are content, a little cynical perhaps but on the whole just so, and then without warning you find the solid floor is a trapdoor and you are now in another place whose geography is uncertain and whose customs are strange?
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
My books always begin with a sentence and an image - not necessarily connected.
Jeanette Winterson
To kiss well one must kiss solely. No groping hands or stammering hearts. The lips and the lips alone are the pleasure. Passion is sweeter split strand by strand. Divided and re-divided like mercury then gathered up only at the last moment.
Jeanette Winterson
This is not a love story, but love is in it. That is, love is just outside it, looking for a way to break in.
Jeanette Winterson
Everyone who tells a story tells it differently, just to remind us that everybody sees it differently.
Jeanette Winterson
How easy it is to destroy the past and how difficult to forget it.
Jeanette Winterson
Part fact part fiction is what life is. And it is always a cover story. I wrote my way out.
Jeanette Winterson
The pain is when the dreams change, as they do, as they must.
Jeanette Winterson
I have no idea what happens next.
Jeanette Winterson
