“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
“Reading things that are relevant to the facts of your life is of limited value. The facts are, after all, only the facts, and the yearning passionate part of you will not be met there. That is why reading ourselves as a fiction as well as fact is so liberating. The wider we read the freer we become.”

          it’s more like a song on a policeman’s radio,
                              how we rolled up the carpet so we could dance, and the days
were bright red, and every time we kissed there was another apple
