Confidence and superiority: It's the usual fundamentalist stuff: I've got the truth, and you haven't.Jeanette Winterson
I am a writer who happens to love women. I am not a lesbian who happens to write.
Jeanette Winterson
We are friends and I do like to pass the day with you in serious and inconsequential chatter. I wouldn't mind washing up beside you, dusting beside you, reading the back half of the paper while you read the front. We are friends and I would miss you, do miss you and think of you very often.
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it. Those who do not do it, think of it as a cousin of stamp collecting, a sister of the trophy cabinet, bastard of a sound bank account and a weak mind.
Jeanette Winterson
In my subconscious, my books were part of a single emotional journey.
Jeanette Winterson
