Jeanette Winterson Quote: “We are lucky, even the worst of us, for daylight comes.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “The world is surely wide enough to walk without fear.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “I say I’m in love with her. What does that mean? It means I review my future and my past in the light of this feeling. It is as though I wrote in a foreign language that I am suddenly able to read. Wordlessly, she explains me to myself. LIke genius she is ignorant of what she does.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “Perhaps all romance is like that; not a contract between equal parties but an explosion of dreams and desires that can find no outlet in everyday life. Only a drama will do and while the fireworks last the sky is a different colour.”

Jeanette Winterson Quote: “I think we are worlds compressed into human form.”

Jeanette Winterson Quote: “It may be that you are settled in another place it may be that you are happy but the one who took your heart wields final power.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “As far as I was concerned men were something you had around the place, not particularly interesting, but quite harmless. I had never shown the slightest feeling for them, and apart from my never wearing a skirt, saw nothing else in common between us.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “I’m telling you stories. Trust me.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “To me, life, for all its privations, is a luminous thing. You have to risk it.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “Don’t lie. You know you like to view but not to buy. I have found that I am not a space where people want to live, at least not without decorating first. And that is the stubbornness in me: I do not want to be someone’s little home.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “When love is unreliable and you are a child, you assume that it is the nature of love – its quality – to be unreliable. Children do not find fault with their parents until later. In the beginning the love you get is the love that sets.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “I think heterosexuality and homosexuality are a kind of psychosis, and the truth is somewhere in the middle.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “Mrs Winterson objected to what I had put in, but it seemed to me that what I had left out was the story’s silent twin. There are so many things we can’t say, because they are too painful. Stories are compensatory. The world is unfair, unjust, unknowable, out of control. Mrs Winterson would have preferred it if I had been silent. I needed words because unhappy families are conspiracies of silence. The one who breaks the silence is never forgiven. He or she has to learn to forgive him or herself.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “Where you are born – what you are born into, the place, the history of the place, how that history mates with your own – stamps who you are, whatever the pundits of globalisation have to say.”

Jeanette Winterson Quote: “It is necessary to distinguish the chalk circle from the stone wall.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “We bury things so deep we no longer remember there was anything to bury. Our bodies remember. Our neurotic states remember. But we don’t.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “Capitalism is like Japanese Knotweed: nothing kills it off. If there were only two people left on the planet, one of them would find a way of making money out of the other.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “Words are the part of silence that can be spoken.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “What’s the big deal? Snow’s just rain that’s been left out in the cold.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “I don’t own my emotions unless I can think about them. I am not afraid of feeling but I am afraid of feeling unthinkingly. I don’t want to drown. My head is my heart’s lifebelt.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “Language always betrays us, tells the truth when we want to lie, and dissolves into formlessness when we would most like to be precise.”

Jeanette Winterson Quote: “What can i tell you about the choices we make? Fate reads like the polar opposite of decision, and so much of life reads like fate.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “I’m a woman. And I’m a man. That’s how it is for me. I am in a body that I prefer. But the past, my past, is not subject to surgery. I didn’t do it to distance myself from myself. I did it to get nearer to myself.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “You can change everything about yourself – your name, your home, your skin color, your gender, even your parents, your private history – but you can’t change the time you were born in, or what it is you will have to live through.”
Jeanette Winterson Quote: “A character has a distinctive voice – you should be able to hear them in your head and conduct a conversation with them while you’re out walking. If the answers surprise you, you know it’s the character speaking and not you.”
