More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
History is not a suicide note -- it is a record of our survival.
Jeanette Winterson
In the heat of her hands I thought, This is the campfire that mocks the sun. This place will warm me, feed me and care for me. I will hold on to this pulse against other rhythms. The world will come and go in the tide of a day but here is her hand with my future in its palm.
Jeanette Winterson

Reading things that are relevant to the facts of your life is of limited value. The facts are, after all, only the facts, and the yearning passionate part of you will not be met there. That is why reading ourselves as a fiction as well as fact is so liberating. The wider we read the freer we become.
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
I never wanted children. If I'd been deeply in love with a man and he'd wanted children, it would have been difficult.
Jeanette Winterson
I care about doing the work as best as I can do, and that it should go on reaching people. It's not about fame and it's not about me. It's about creating something that might allow someone else to create something.
Jeanette Winterson
My books always begin with a sentence and an image - not necessarily connected.
Jeanette Winterson
Trust me, I'm telling you stories.
Jeanette Winterson
There’s no story that’s the start of itself.
Jeanette Winterson
And you? Now that I have discovered you? Beautiful, dangerous, unleashed. Still I try to hold you, knowing that your body is faced with knives.
Jeanette Winterson
