More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
To avoid discovery I stay on the run. To discover things for myself, I stay on the run.
Jeanette Winterson
I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you. For me, imagination and desire are very close.
Jeanette Winterson
We are all historians in our small way.
Jeanette Winterson
When she bleeds the smells I know change colour. There is iron in her soul on those days. She smells like a gun.
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
Everyone who tells a story tells it differently, just to remind us that everybody sees it differently.
Jeanette Winterson
It's hard to remember that this day will never come again. That the time is now and the place is here and that there are no second chances at a single moment.
Jeanette Winterson
You don't get over it because 'it' is the person you loved.
Jeanette Winterson
But not all dark places need light, I have to remember that.
Jeanette Winterson
What you risk reveals what you value.
Jeanette Winterson
Every moment you steal from the present is a moment you've lost forever. There is only now.
Jeanette Winterson
He doubted her. You must never doubt the one you love. But they might not be telling the truth. Never mind that. You tell them the truth. What do you mean? You can't be another person's honesty, child, but you can be your own. So what should I say? When? When I love someone? You should say it.
Jeanette Winterson
We heal up through being loved, and through loving others. We don't heal by forming a secret society of one - by assessing about the only other 'one' we might admit, and being doomed to disappointment.
Jeanette Winterson
I know I've had an unusual beginning and a colourful life, but that wouldn't matter if I couldn't make it speak to other people.
Jeanette Winterson
It may be that there was no reason or purpose, for mankind must always be finding reasons where there are none, and comfort in a purpose that hardly exists.
Jeanette Winterson
Why is the mind incapable of deciding its own subject matter? Why when we desperately want to think of one thing to we invariably think of another?
Jeanette Winterson
Adults talk about being happy because largely they are not.
Jeanette Winterson
Autobiography is not important. Authenticity is important. The writer must fire herself through the text, be the molten stuff that welds together disparate elements. I believe there is always exposure, vulnerability, in the writing process, which is not to say it is either confessional or memoir. Simply, it is real.
Jeanette Winterson
I've never been tempted by God but I like his trappings.
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.
