More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
Reading is where the wild things are.
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
I hate the word lesbian it tells you nothing its only purpose is to inflame.
Jeanette Winterson
The curious are always in some danger. If you are curious you might never come home.
Jeanette Winterson
Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it.
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
Trust your creativity.
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
Passion is for holidays, not homecoming.
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
I have no idea what happens next.
Jeanette Winterson
The world is surely wide enough to walk without fear.
Jeanette Winterson
The fact is that every atom that we're made of is part of that first explosion of a nuclear star billions of years ago. We're connected to the entire universe.
Jeanette Winterson
You don't get over it because 'it' is the person you loved.
Jeanette Winterson
I don't write for any group. I write to bring about a change in consciousness.
Jeanette Winterson
For fate may hang on any moment and at any moment be changed.
Jeanette Winterson
I think of myself in a continuum as a woman. Two hundred years ago, it would have been very difficult for me to write at all.
