Jeanette Winterson
“I don't know how to answer. I know what I think, but words in the head are like voices underwater. They are distorted.”
Jeanette Winterson, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit

Jeanette Winterson
“She arches her body like a cat on a stretch. She nuzzles her cunt into my face like a filly at the gate. She smells of the sea. She smells of rockpools when I was a child. She keeps a starfish in there. I crouch down to taste the salt, to run my fingers around the rim. She opens and shuts like a sea anemone. She's refilled each day with fresh tides of longing.”
Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

Jeanette Winterson
“I had no one to help me, but the T. S. Eliot helped me.

So when people say that poetry is a luxury, or an option, or for the educated middle classes, or that it shouldn’t be read at school because it is irrelevant, or any of the strange stupid things that are said about poetry and its place in our lives, I suspect that the people doing the saying have had things pretty easy. A tough life needs a tough language – and that is what poetry is. That is what literature offers – a language powerful enough to say how it is.

It isn’t a hiding place. It is a finding place.”
Jeanette Winterson, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?

Marguerite Duras
“...as long as nothing happens between them, the memory is cursed with what hasn't happened.”
Marguerite Duras, Blue Eyes, Black Hair

“You are the sky. Everything else – it’s just the weather.”
Pema Chödrön
