Jeanette Winterson

"Long looking at paintings is equivalent to being dropped into a foreign city, where gradually, out of desire and despair, a few key words, then a little syntax make a clearing in the silence. Art... is a foreign city, and we deceive ourselves when we think it familiar... We have to recognize that the language of art, all art, is not our mother-tongue."

"I think we still believe that ambition is for boys."

Ambition

Quote_1.png
Jeanette Winterson
"I think therefore I am. Does that mean 'I feel therefore I'm not'? But only through feeling can I get at thinking."

Philosophy

Quote_1.png
Jeanette Winterson
"The wider we read the freer we become."

Knowledge

Quote_1.png
Jeanette Winterson
"It's a symbiotic process, writing. What I am makes the books-not part of me, all of me-and then the books themselves inform the sense of what I am. So the more I can be, the better the books will be."

Creativity

Quote_1.png
Jeanette Winterson
"You cannot disown what is yours. Flung out, there is always the return, the reckoning, the revenge, perhaps the reconciliation. There is always the return. And the wound will take you there."

Life

Quote_1.png
Jeanette Winterson
"Rights begin where love ends. Shall we argue over who is the most to blame?"

Ethics

Jeanette Winterson
"The free man never thinks of escape."

Freedom

Quote_1.png
Jeanette Winterson
"I was sixteen and my mother was about to throw me out of the house forever, for breaking a very big rule, even bigger than the forbidden books. The rule was not just No Sex, but definitely No Sex With Your Own Sex."

Family

Jeanette Winterson
"I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you. For me, imagination and desire are very close."

Fantasy

Quote_1.png
Jeanette Winterson
"The human heart is my territory. I write about love because it's the most important thing in the world. I write about sex because often it feels like the most important thing in the world."
