More quotes by Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
I felt like a thief with a bagful of stolen glances.
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
Writers have to have a knack for listening. I need to be able to hear what is being said to me by the voices I create.
Jeanette Winterson
Slightest accidents open up new worlds.
Jeanette Winterson
Are we all living like this? Two lives, the ideal outer life and the inner imaginative life where we keep our secrets?
Jeanette Winterson
It's not the one thing nor the other that leads to madness, but the space in between.
Jeanette Winterson
Passion is for holidays, not homecoming.
Jeanette Winterson
Words are the part of silence that can be spoken.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't believe in happy endings.
Jeanette Winterson
