Jeanette Winterson
  • Anything outside marriage seems like freedom and excitement.

  • I live alone, with cats, books, pictures, fresh vegetables to cook, the garden, the hens to feed.

  • You never give away your heart you lend it from time to time. If it were not so, how could we take it back without asking?

  • Confidence and superiority: It's the usual fundamentalist stuff: I've got the truth, and you haven't.

  • I am a writer who happens to love women. I am not a lesbian who happens to write.
