Quotes

And so, from the first, we separated our pleasure. She lay on the rug and I lay at right angles to her so that only our lips might meet. Kissing in this way is the strangest of distractions. The greedy body that clamors for satisfaction is forced to content itself with a single sensation and, just as the blind hear more acutely and the deaf can feel the grass grow, so the mouth becomes the focus of love and all things pass through it and are re-defined. It is a sweet and precise torture. Jeanette Winterson
What is remembered is not a deed in stone but a metaphor. Meta = above. Pheren = to carry. That which is carried above the literalness of life. A way of thinking that avoids the problems of gravity. The word won't let me down. The single word that can release me from all that unuttered weight. Jeanette Winterson
Jeanette Winterson quote: "In my subconscious, my books were part of a single emotional..."
In my subconscious, my books were part of a single emotional journey. Jeanette Winterson
It's hard to remember that this day will never come again. That the time is now and the place is here and that there are no second chances at a single moment. Jeanette Winterson
Jeanette Winterson quote: "I dreamed I was a single moment in a single day. A note struck..."
I dreamed I was a single moment in a single day. A note struck and vanished. A sounding. A reckoning. Gone. Jeanette Winterson
