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

“I was happy, but happy is an adult word. You don't have to ask a child about happy, you see it. They are or they are not. Adults talk about being happy because largely they are not. Talking about it is the same as trying to catch the wind. Much easier to let it blow all over you. This is where I disagree with the philosophers. They talk about passionate things but there is no passion in them. Never talk happiness with a philosopher.”
― Jeanette Winterson, The Passion

“There is no discovery without risk and what you risk reveals what you value.”
― Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

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