“What sex are you?”
Doesn’t matter does it? After all that’s your problem.”
If I keep you, what will happen?”
You’ll have a difficult, different time.”
Is it worth it?”
That’s up to you.”
Jeanette Winterson, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit

Virginia Woolf
“No, she thought, one could say nothing to nobody. The urgency of the moment always missed its mark. Words fluttered sideways and struck the object inches too low.”
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

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

“We are lucky, even the worst of us, for daylight comes.”
Jeanette Winterson, Lighthousekeeping

Jeanette Winterson
“There it is; the light across the water. Your story. Mine. His. It has to be seen to be believed. And it has to be heard. In the endless babble of narrative, in spite of the daily noise, the story waits to be heard.


Some people say that the best stories have no words. They weren't brought up to Lighthousekeeping. It is true that words drop away, and that the important things are often left unsaid. The important things are learned in faces, in gestures, not in our locked tongues. The true things are too big or too small, or in any case is always the wrong size to fit in the template called language.”
Jeanette Winterson, Lighthousekeeping
