Jeanette Winterson
I like being on my own better than I like anything else, but I can't give up love. Maybe it's the tension between longing and aloneness that I need. My own funicular railway, holding in balance the two things most likely to destroy me.
Jeanette Winterson
Everyone thinks their own situation most tragic. I am no exception.
Jeanette Winterson
They believed that if a mouse found your hair clippings and built a nest with them you got a headache. If the nest was big enough, you might go mad.
Jeanette Winterson
The pain is when the dreams change, as they do, as they must.
Jeanette Winterson
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. What then kills love? Only this: Neglect.
Jeanette Winterson
What you risk reveals what you value.
Jeanette Winterson
Love's lengthways splits the heart in two - the heart where you are, the heart where you want to be.
Jeanette Winterson
Turn up for work. Discipline allows creative freedom. No discipline equals no freedom.
