I never wanted children. If I'd been deeply in love with a man and he'd wanted children, it would have been difficult.

I hate the word lesbian; it tells you nothing; its only purpose is to inflame.

I never cared about money. ...

I never cared about money.

The truth is that love smashes into your life like an ice floe, and even if your heart is built like the Titanic you go down.

The curious are always in some danger. If you are curious you might never come home.

I like to look at how people ...

I like to look at how people work together when they are put into stressful situations, when life stops being cozy.

You play. You win. You play. ...

You play. You win. You play. You lose. You play.

I think we still believe that ambition is for boys.

Creative work is incredibly difficult, and that is where the tests lie.

While I can’t have you, I lon...

While I can’t have you, I long for you. I am the kind of person who would miss a train or a plane to meet you for coffee. I’d take a taxi across town to see you for ten minutes. I’d wait outside all night if I thought you would open the door in the morning. If you call me and say ‘Will you…’ my answer is ‘Yes’, before your sentence is out. I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you. For me, imagination and desire are very close.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

It’s better to think of my li...

It’s better to think of my life like that— part miracle, part madness. It’s better if I accept that I can’t control any of the things that matter. My life is a trail of shipwrecks and set-sails. There are no arrivals, no destinations; there are only sandbanks and shipwreck; then another boat, another tide.

There is no discovery without risk and what you risk reveals what you value.

Wherever love is, I want to be, I will follow it as surely as the land-locked salmon finds the sea.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

Everyone who tells a story te...

Everyone who tells a story tells it differently, just to remind us that everybody sees it differently. Some people say there are true things to be found, some people say all kinds of things can be proved. I don't believe them. The only thing for certain is how complicated it all is, like string full of knots. It's all there but hard to find the beginning and impossible to fathom the end. The best you can do is admire the cat's cradle, and maybe knot it up a bit more.

To be ill adjusted to a deranged world is not a breakdown.

You’ll get over it…” It’s the...

You’ll get over it…” It’s the clich?s that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life for ever. You don’t get over it because ‘it” is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no-one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?

The rebellion of art is a daily rebellion against the state of living death routinely called real life.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

As people get older they have...

As people get older they have these rigid patterns that they impose on themselves, and it kills them. They become dull, they become dead to new experience, they become afraid, biased, and bigoted. It's really simply to do with refusing new experience.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

I want someone who is fierce ...

I want someone who is fierce and will love me until death and knows that love is as strong as death, and be on my side forever and ever. I want someone who will destroy and be destroyed by me.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

Always in my books, I like to...

Always in my books, I like to throw that rogue element into a stable situation and then see what happens.
