Do all lovers feel helpless an...

Do all lovers feel helpless and valiant in the presence of the beloved? Helpless because the need to roll over like a pet dog is never far away. Valiant because you know you would slay a dragon with a pocket knife if you had to.

The truth is that love smashes...

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.

If I let them take away my demons, I'll have to give up what I've found.

How many of us want any of us ...

How many of us want any of us to see us as we really are?

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.

It's better to think of my life like thatЂ' 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.

She was a monster, but she was my monster.

I did not realize that when mo...

I did not realize that when money becomes a core value, then education drives towards utility or that the life of the mind will not be counted as good unless it produces measurable results. That public services will no longer be important. That an alternative life to getting and spending will become very difficult as cheap housing disappears. That when communities are destroyed only misery and intolerance are left.

Happy ending are only a pause....

Happy ending are only a pause. There are three kinds of big endings: Revenge. Tragedy. Forgiveness. Revenge and Tragedy often happen together. Forgiveness redeems the past. Forgiveness unblocks the future.

Today, the sun is everywhere, ...

Today, the sun is everywhere, and everything solid is nothing but its own shadow, I know that the real things in life, the things I remember, the things I turn over in my hands, are not houses, bank accounts, prizes or promotions. What I remember is love -- all love -- love of this dirt road, this sunrise, a day by the river, the stranger I met in a cafГ©. Myself, even, which is the hardest thing of all to love, because love and selfishness are not the same thing. It is easy to be selfish. It is hard to love who I am.

If we make anything that lasts...

If we make anything that lasts, it outlives us.

Where did love begin?What human being looked at another and saw in their face the forests and the sea? Was there a day, exhausted and weary,dragging home food, arms cut and scarred,that you saw yellow flowers, not knowing what you did, picked them because I love you? In the fossil record of our existence, there is no trace of love.You cannot find it held in the earth's crust, waiting to be discovered. The long bones of our ancestors show nothing of their hearts.

Part fact part fiction is what life is. And it is always a cover story. I wrote my way out.

If there's one thing I can't stand it's a hero without a cause. People like that just make trouble so that they can solve it.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

I think every work of art is a...

I think every work of art is an act of faith, or we wouldn't bother to do it. It is a message in a bottle, a shout in the dark. It's saying, 'I'm here and I believe that you are somewhere and that you will answer if necessary across time, not necessarily in my lifetime.'

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

What's invisible to us is also crucial for our own well-being.

I think we still believe that ambition is for boys.

I wanted to write a new fable and see how many rules you could break.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

One room is always enough for ...

One room is always enough for one person. Two rooms is not enough for two people. That is one of the conundrums in life.

My characters are always on the outside; the spotlight's not on them. But they do get somewhere.
