Jeanette Winterson Quote: “I would rather have regrets of excess than regrets of denial.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “Birth is a shipwreck, the mewling infant shored on unknown land.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “People do go back, but they don’t survive, because two realities are claiming them at the same time. Such things are too much. You can salt your heart, or kill your heart, or you can choose between the two realities. There is much pain here. Some people think you can have your cake and eat it. The cake goes mouldy and they choke on what’s left. Going back after a long time will make you mad, because the people you left behind do not like to think of you changed, will treat you as they always did, accuse you of being indifferent, when you are only different.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.”

Jeanette Winterson Quote: “What is a memory anyway but a painful dispute with the past?”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “What should I do about the wild and the tame? The wild heart that wants to be free, and the tame heart that wants to come home. I want to be held. I don’t want you to come too close. I want you to scoop me up and bring me home at nights. I don’t want to tell you where I am. I want to keep a place among the rocks where no one can find me. I want to be with you.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “I looked at my palms trying to see the other life, the parallel life. The point at which my selves broke away and one married a fat man and the other stayed here.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “I would eat my way into perdition to taste you.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “The wider we read the freer we become.”

Jeanette Winterson Quote: “Very often history is a means of denying the past.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “Only in death may we be reunited with those we have lost. For myself, I do not seek death but neither do I fear that which will bring me peace.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “Hox is a racing word: it means to hamstring a horse not so brutally that she can’t walk but cleverly so that she can’t run. Society hoxes women and pretends that God, Nature or the genepool designed them lame.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “But not all dark places need light, I have to remember that.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “When she bleeds the smells I know change colour. There is iron in her soul on those days. She smells like a gun.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “You’re never alone with a book, are you? It’s a dialogue.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “I am thinking of a certain September: Wood pigeon Red Admiral Yellow Harvest Orange Night. You said, ‘I love you.’ Why is it that the most unoriginal thing we can say to one another is still the thing we long to hear? ‘I love you’ is always a quotation. You did not say it first and neither did I, yet when you say it and when I say it we speak like savages who have found three words and worship them. I did worship them but now I am alone on a rock hewn out of my own body.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “That walls should fall is the consequence of blowing your own trumpet.”

Jeanette Winterson Quote: “Whoever it is you fall in love with for the first time, not just love but be in love with, is the one who will always make you angry, the one you can’t be logical about.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “The only sex education my mother ever gave me was the injunction: ‘Never let a boy touch you down there.’ I had no idea what she meant. She seemed to be referring to my knees.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “Islands are metaphors of the heart, no matter what poet says otherwise.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “Of course, people will laugh at you, but people laugh at a great many things so there is no need to take it personally.”

Jeanette Winterson Quote: “Organized religion is a very bad way of passing on spiritual values because it becomes so corrupted with political and repressive agendas which don’t help anybody to develop their spirituality.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “I felt like a thief with a bagful of stolen glances.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “The body can endure compromise and the mind can be seduced by it. Only the heart protests. The heart. Carbon-based primitive in a silicon world.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “I felt like a seed in a pomegranate. Some say that the pomegranate was the real apple of Eve, fruit of the womb, I would eat my way into perdition to taste you.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “There are times when it will go so wrong that you will barely be alive, and times when you realise that being barely alive, on your own terms, is better than living a bloated half-life on someone else’s terms.”
