“every moment you steal from the present is a moment you have lost for ever. There's only now.”
Jeanette Winterson, The Passion

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

“But not all dark places need light, I have to remember that.”
Jeanette Winterson, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit

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?

Jeanette Winterson
“I say I'm in love with her. What does that mean?

It means I review my future and my past in the light of this feeling. It is as though I wrote in a foreign language that I am suddenly able to read. Wordlessly, she explains me to myself. LIke genius she is ignorant of what she does.”
Jeanette Winterson, The Passion
