Text Quotes
The body shuts down when it has too much to bear; goes its own way quietly inside, waiting for a better time, leaving you numb and half alive (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
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 Quotes)
I seem to have run in a great circle, and met myself again on the starting line (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Time is a player. Time is part of today, not simply a measure of its passing (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
There is no sense in loving someone you can never wake up to except by chance (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)

By betrayal, I mean promising to be on your side, then being on somebody else’s (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
I write about sex because often it feels like the most important thing in the world (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)

Cheating is easy. There’s no swank to infidelity. To borrow against the trust someone has placed in you costs nothing at first. You get away with it, you take a little more and a little more until there is no more to draw on. Oddly, your hands should be full with all that taking but when you open them there’s nothing there (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
One thing I am certain of, I do not want to be betrayed, but thats quite hard to say casually, at the beginning of a relationship. It’s not a word people use very often, which confuses me, because there are different kinds of infidelity, but betrayal is betrayal wherever you find it. By betrayal, I mean promising to be on your side, and then being on somebody else’s (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
Words like passion and ecstasy, we learn them but they stay flat on the page. Sometimes we try to turn them over, find out what’s on the other side, and everyone has a story to tell os a woman or a brothel or an opium night or a war. We fear it. We fear passion and laugh at too much love and those who love too much (Jeanette Winterson Quotes)
