5217afe My passion for her showed me the difference between inventing a lover and falling in love. The one is about you, the other about someone else Jeanette Winterson
64b0b06 This is not a barren place. Villanelle, whose talent is to look at everything at least twice, taught me to find joy in the most unlikely places and still to be surprised by the obvious. She had a knack of raising your spirits just by saying, 'Look at that,' and that was always an ordinary treasure brought to life. She can even charm the fishwives.

8b8c04b Asla yalan soylemeyin. Icinizde hicbir sey kipirdamadiysa bir seyin sizi etkiledigini asla soylemeyin. Siz bir kitabi elinize alabilirsiniz ama bir kitap sizi odanin obur ucuna firlatabilir. Bir kitap sizi rahat koltugunuzdan alip deniz kenarindaki kayaliklara tasiyabilir. Bir kitap sizi kocanizdan, karinizdan, cocuklarinizdan, butun benliginizden ayirabilir. Omur boyu cektiginiz bir aciyi dindirebilir. Kitaplar kinetiktir ve her devasa guc.. Jeanette Winterson
ff4dd89 It has taken me a long time to learn how to love - both the giving and the receiving. Jeanette Winterson
20b7b09 I loved God of course, in the early days, and God loved me. That was something. And I loved animals and nature. And poetry. People were the problem. How do you love another person? How do you trust another person to love you? I had no idea. love-issues people trust Jeanette Winterson
455734e Ti do un consiglio: quando sei giovane e ti capita di leggere qualcosa che non ti piace affatto, mettilo da parte e rileggilo tra tre anni dopo. Se ancora non ti piace, rileggilo dopo altri tre anni. E quando sei giovane - quando arrivi ai cinquant'anni come me - rileggerai il libro che ti e piaciuto in assoluto di meno. booklover books inspirational leggere lettura Jeanette Winterson
73fe79a I libri sono per me una casa. I libri non fanno una casa, una casa, nel senso che, cosi come apri una porta, apri un libro e ci entri. booklover inspirational Jeanette Winterson
3d94832 Mi piace il modo in cui i gatti amano stare un po' dentro e un po' fuori, per assecondare sia il loro lato domestico sia quello selvatico, e anch'io mi sento selvatica e domestica. Posso stare in casa, ma solo se la porta e aperta. cat cats freedom gatti gatto housewarming libertà Jeanette Winterson

1694e68 Le chiesi perche non voleva libri in casa e lei rispose: "Il guaio di un libro e che scopri cosa contiene solo quando e troppo tardi." Io pensai: "Troppo tardi per cosa?" Cominciai a leggere di nascosto [...] ogni volta che aprivo le pagine di un libro mi chiedevo se questa volta sarebbe stato troppo tardi: avrei dovuto un sorso fatale che mi avrebbe trasformato per sempre." booklover booklovers casa libri Jeanette Winterson

9d24bc1 Perhaps this is how it is--life flowing smoothly over memory and history, the past returning or not, depending on the tide. History is a collection of found objects washed up through time. Goods, ideas, personalities, surface towards us, then sink away. Some we hook out, others we ignore, and as the pattern changes, so does the meaning. We cannot rely on the facts. Time, which returns everything, changes everything. history life meaning memory objectivity subjectivity time Jeanette Winterson
