More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
Your weak point is the open, vulnerable place where you can always be hurt. Love, in all its aspects, opens the self so fully.
Jeanette Winterson
There's no such thing as autobiography, there's only art and lies
Jeanette Winterson
But not all dark places need light, I have to remember that.
Jeanette Winterson
We're living in a homogenized culture where everything is the same, and books are not a homogenized culture. They are extremely varied, and they're eccentric because they are the product of an individual mind. They are not, in any way, mediated.
Jeanette Winterson
When pieces of work speak to us in a way that feels as if they were made just for us, those become our private worlds that we return to.
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
What is more humiliating than finding the object of your love unworthy?
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
the buddhists say there are 149 ways to god. i'm not looking for god, only for myself, and that is far more complicated.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't write for any group. I write to bring about a change in consciousness.
Jeanette Winterson
We are lucky, even the worst of us, for daylight comes.
Jeanette Winterson
Marriage is the flimsiest weapon against desire. You may as well take a pop-gun to a python.
Jeanette Winterson
I have no idea what happens next.
Jeanette Winterson
Always in my books, I like to throw that rogue element into a stable situation and then see what happens.
Jeanette Winterson
I have found that I am not a space where people want to live, at least not without decorating first.
Jeanette Winterson
Infatuation.First Love.Lust.My passion can be explained away.But this is sure: Whatever she touches, she reveals
Jeanette Winterson
We fear passion and laugh at too much love and those who love too much. And still we long to feel.
Jeanette Winterson
Passion is for holidays, not homecoming.
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 you are settled in another place it may be that you are happy but the one who took your heart wields final power.
Jeanette Winterson
