Jeanette Winterson Quotes

i realize that the future, though invisible, has weight. We are in the gravitational pull of past and future. It takes huge energy -speed of light power- to break the gravitational pull.

We believe we can be our own miracles, and just a lottery win or Mr.right will make the world new.
