More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
Adults talk about being happy because largely they are not.
Jeanette Winterson
A curse on this game. How can you stick at a game when the rules keep on changing? I shall call myself Alice and play croquet with the flamingos. In Wonderland everyone cheats and love is Wonderland, isn't it?
Jeanette Winterson
I think heterosexuality and homosexuality are a kind of psychosis, and the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Jeanette Winterson
You've got these twenty million people who call themselves the Evangelical Christians who will put their hand up and say, I believe in the devil, I'm against abortion and gay rights, and we have to blow up the world. It's frightening.
Jeanette Winterson
To be ill adjusted to a deranged world is not a breakdown.
Jeanette Winterson
[Fiction and poetry] are medicines, they're doses, and they heal the rupture that reality makes on the imagination.
Jeanette Winterson
Love ... Just Nature's way of getting one person to pay the bills for another person.
Jeanette Winterson
It's the cliches that cause the trouble. A precise emotion seeks a precise expression.
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
The rebellion of art is a daily rebellion against the state of living death routinely called real life.
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
The journey is not linear, it is always back and forth, denying the calendar, the wrinkles and lines of the body.
Jeanette Winterson
It's not progress to take books off shelves. If one more person says this [ebooks] is the new Gutenberg, I will probably commit homicide, because the whole point of Gutenberg was to put books on shelves, not to take them off.
Jeanette Winterson
If people aren't educated, they can't question. If they can't question, they can't change anything, which is great for the status quo and all the people who can question them at their own level.
Jeanette Winterson
Unconditional love is what a child should expect from a parent even though it rarely works out that way.
Jeanette Winterson
The world is surely wide enough to walk without fear.
Jeanette Winterson
I have met a great many people on their way towards God and I wonder why they have chosen to look for him rather than themselves.
Jeanette Winterson
Anything outside marriage seems like freedom and excitement.
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
History is not a suicide note -- it is a record of our survival.
