More Quotes from Jeanette Winterson:
Art saved me; it got me through my depression and self-loathing, back to a place of innocence.Jeanette Winterson
I was happy but happy is an adult world. You don't have to ask a child about happy, you see it. They are or they are not Adults talk about being happy because largely they are not. Talking about it is the same as trying to catch the wind. Much easier to let it blow all over you. This is where I disagree with the philosophers. They talk about passionate things but there is no passion in them. Never talk happiness with a philosopher.
