“I want someone who is fierce and will love me until death and knows that love is as strong as death, and be on my side forever and ever. I want someone who will destroy and be destroyed by me.”
— Jeanette Winterson“Love demands expression. It will not stay still, stay silent, be good, be modest, be seen and not heard, no. It will break out in tongues of praise, the high note that smashes the glass and spills the liquid.”
— Jeanette Winterson“I knew it like destiny, and at the same time, I knew it as choice.”
— Jeanette Winterson“I know now, after fifty years, that the finding/losing, forgetting/remembering, leaving/returning, never stops. The whole of life is about another chance, and while we are alive, till the very end, there is always another chance.”
— Jeanette Winterson“Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. What then kills love? Only this: Neglect.”
— Jeanette WintersonHunger for touch is a primal need, as vital as air, as haunting as silence.
