Jeanette Winterson Quotes

People do go back, but they don't survive, because two realities are claiming them at the same time. Such things are too much.

Going back after a long time will make you mad, because the people you left behind do not like to think of you changed, will treat you as they always did, accuse you of being indifferent, when you are only different.

Jeanette Winterson
