Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
For fate may hang on any moment and at any moment be changed.
Jeanette Winterson
She was a monster, but she was my monster.
Jeanette Winterson
We are lucky, even the worst of us, for daylight comes.
Jeanette Winterson
You've got these twenty million people who call themselves the Evangelical Christians who will put their hand up and say, I believe in the devil, I'm against abortion and gay rights, and we have to blow up the world. It's frightening.
Jeanette Winterson
The curious are always in some danger. If you are curious you might never come home.
Jeanette Winterson
I have a theory that every time you make an important choice, the part of you left behind continues the other life you could have had.
Jeanette Winterson
It is helpful for a woman artist not to have a husband.
Jeanette Winterson
It's the cliches that cause the trouble. A precise emotion seeks a precise expression.
Jeanette Winterson
To avoid discovery I stay on the run. To discover things for myself, I stay on the run.
Jeanette Winterson
