Do you wake up as I do, having...

Do you wake up as I do, having forgotten what it is that hurts or where, until you move? There is a second of consciousness that is clean again. A second that is you, without memory or experience, the animal warm and waking into a brand new world. There is the sun dissolving the dark, and light as clear as music, filling the room where you sleep and the other rooms behind your eyes.

Capacity for love in its highe...

Capacity for love in its higher forms seems to be peculiarly human although even in humans it is still peculiar.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

I didn't want to tell the stor...

I didn't want to tell the story of myself, but someone I called myself. If you read yourself as fiction, it's rather more liberating than reading yourself as fact.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

Tell me the story, Pew. . . . ...

Tell me the story, Pew. . . . It was a woman. You always say that. There's always a woman somewhere, child; a princess, a witch, a stepmother, a mermaid, a fairy godmother, or one as wicked as she is beautiful, or as beautiful as she is good. Is that the complete list? Then there is the woman you love. Who's she? That's another story.

What is more humiliating than ...

What is more humiliating than finding the object of your love unworthy?

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

I think now that being free is...

I think now that being free is not being powerful or rich or well regarded or without obligation but being able to love. To love someone else enough to forget about yourself even for one moment is to be free.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

I choose this story above all ...

I choose this story above all others because it's a story I'm struggling to end.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

Whoever it is you fall in love...

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 632 quotes

There are only three possible ...

There are only three possible endings -aren't there? - to any story: revenge, tragedy or forgiveness. That's it. All stories end like that.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

Life gives you enough hard kno...

Life gives you enough hard knocks so it's unlikely you'll stay that sure of yourself.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

More than sex. More than money...

More than sex. More than money. You know, life is not endless is it? Cash, cars, cocaine, and girls. It's more than that. And there is a spiritual dimension to people...we are driven to want something more.

only a poet could frame a language that could frame a world.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

Odd to think that the piece of...

Odd to think that the piece of you I know best is already dead. The cells on the surface of your skin are thin and flat without the blood vessels or nerve endings. Dead cells, thickest on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

When people looked at him they...

When people looked at him they had the feeling of being shut out. He did not shut them out. He shut himself in.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

Know thyself,' said Socrates. ...

Know thyself,' said Socrates. Know thyself,' said Sappho, 'and make sure that the Church never finds out.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

Don't lie. You know you like t...

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 632 quotes

I noticed a woman whose face ...

I noticed a woman whose face was a sea voyage I had not the courage to attempt.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

I knew it like destiny, and at the same time, I knew it as choice.

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

I lay there, stretched out, lo...

I lay there, stretched out, looking at the one star visible through the tiny window of the room. Only connect. How can you do that when the connections are broken?

Jeanette Winterson 632 quotes

What should I do about the wil...

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.
