| c384a57 | Who's to say? Life is not, as we are taught, a matter of seeking answers, but rather learning which are the questions we should ask. | life questions | Kate Mosse | |
| 15d0f3c | Too often I am jealous and my jealousy leads me to say things-things-that I regret. | Kate Mosse | ||

| cfdb045 | Where the Jedi courted power, the Sith lusted after it; where the Jedi believed they knew the truth, the Sith possessed it. Owned by the dark side, they ultimately became their knowledge. | James Luceno | ||
| 9a9882f | Understand that in order for organized religion to succeed, it has to make people believe they need it. In order for people to put faith in something else, they must first lose faith in themselves. So the first task of organized religion is to make you lose faith in yourself. The second task is to make you see that it has the answers you do not. And the third and most important task is to make you accept its answers without question. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||

| d92d475 | you are the creator of your reality, and life can show up no other way for you than that way in which you think it will. | Neale Donald Walsch | ||
| 5a67d4b | The past is not a place I like to visit. This project is forcing me to go there, to tidy up my thoughts. I'm not normally a navel-gazer. I've always thought you find yourself in other people. I'm visiting here. I don't want to set up house. | past | Bono | |
| 88d3595 | I can hold you up with one hand, but you can balance me on your fingertips. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| 3b1e6cc | Death will be like that. We will be forever recognizing people we have never met. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| 54a2096 | My experience has been that times always ends. In theory, you are right, the quantum physicists are right, the religious and romantics are right. Time without end. In practice we both wear a watch. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| 72167f5 | I had to leave. She would have died for my sake. Wasn't it better for me to live a half life for her sake? | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| 5ab86be | Bigger questions, questions with more than one answer, questions without an answer are harder to cope with in silence. Once asked they do not evaporate and leave the mind to its serener musings. Once asked they gain dimension and texture, trip you on the stairs, wake you at night-time. A black hole sucks up its surroundings and even light never escapes. Better then to ask no questions? Better then to be a contented pig than an unhappy Socra.. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| 03626d6 | She was a Roman Cardinal, chaste, but for the perfect choirboy. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| 4701d76 | Unlike him she knew this and sat many hours with her head in her hands, I thought then, to make the words fall out. But the words did not fall out and her feelings hung inside her, preserved. | Jeanette Winterson | ||

| 909e562 | When you are born--what you are born into, the place, the history of the place, how that history mates with your own-- stamps who you are, whatever the pundits of globalisation have to say. | home migration | Jeanette Winterson | |
| 3e3db17 | I can't believe that we have reached the end of everything. The red dust is frightening. The carbon dioxide is real. Water is expensive. Bio-tech has created as many problems as it has fixed, but we're here, we're alive, we're the human race, we have survived wars and terrorism and scarcity and global famine, and we have made it back from the brink, not once but many times. History is not a suicide note - it's a record of our survival. | humanity inspirational survival | Jeanette Winterson | |
| 077613b | He called me Jess because that is the name of the hood which restrains the falcon. I was his falcon. I hung on his arm and fed at his hand. He said my nose was sharp and cruel and that my eyes had madness in them. He said I would tear him to pieces if he dealt softly with me. At night, if he was away, he had me chained to our bed. It was a long chain, long enough for me to use the chamber pot or to stand at the window and wait for the la.. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| 019515f | Turn down the daily noise and at first there is the relief of silence. And then, very quietly, as quiet as light, meaning returns. Words are the part of silence that can be spoken. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| 031ed5f | The trouble with babies is that they are made like a safe- no way to see what's inside and no guarantee that the effort will be worth the trouble. spin the numbers, crack the code, but the door won't swing open. Babies are safes on time-delay. It takes years for the door to swing open, and even when it does, the best minds are undecided as to the value of the contents | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| 9d627bc | The past is a grenade that explodes when thrown. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| 17c49bb | There's no such thing as a limited victory. You must protect what you have won. You must take is seriously. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| a0995df | It was Hell, if hell is where the life we love cannot exist. | living | Jeanette Winterson | |
| 673361f | What we notice in stories is the nearness of the wound to the gift. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| d0b9438 | Time is not constant and one minute is not the same length as another. | time | Jeanette Winterson | |
| 81bbd5f | The grey city and its lost hearts force its way between myself and my healing. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| afc0cbf | For the first time in months I felt my body slacken. I had been carrying myself like a gun, cocked, alert, ready for trouble, fearing it. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| 0b42889 | It is true that on bright days we are happy. That is true because the sun on the eyelids effects chemical changes in the body. The sun also diminishes the pupils to pinpricks, letting the light in less. When we can hardly see we are most likely to fall in love. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| 82caf09 | We were to be the lightest of things, he and I, lifting each other up above the heaviness of life. If was because we knew that gravity is always part of the equation that we tried to defeat it. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| 94e29cd | Wrong to seal illogic with a kiss but I do it myself all the time. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| 683f8f2 | We mostly understand ourselves through an endless series of stories told to ourselves by ourselves and others. The so-called facts of our individual worlds are highly coloured and arbitrary, facts that fit whatever reality we have chosen to believe in. . . . It may be that to understand ourselves as fictions, is to understand ourselves as fully as we can. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| c741b44 | Very often history is a means of denying the past. Denying the past is to refuse to recognise its integrity. To fit it, force it, function it, to suck out the spirit until it looks the way you think it should. We are all historians in our small way. | knowledge | Jeanette Winterson | |
| f378eb9 | Meatspace still has some advantages for a carbon-based girl. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| a09bb5b | There are two questions: where have you come from, and where are you going? But the brain doesn't have separate regions for the past and future; only the present is differentiated by the brain. We split time into three parts. The brain, it seems, splits it twice only: now, and not now. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| f76c05d | Our broken society is not born out of the triumph of the individual, but out of his effacement. He vanishes, she vanishes, ask them who they are and they will offer you a wallet or a child. | Jeanette Winterson | ||

| b1de734 | Come again?' She asked. Yes tomorrow, under the sodium street lights, under the tick of the clock. Under my obligations, my history, my fears, this now. This fizzy, giddy all consuming now. I will not let time lie to me. I will not listen to dead voices or unborn pain. "What if?" Has no power against 'what if not?' The not of you is unbearable. I must have you...." | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| 40652e5 | to create was a fundament, to appreciate, a supplement. Once created, the creature was separate from the creator, and needed no seconding to fully exist. | creation existence jeanette-winterson oranges-are-not-the-only-fruit to-create | Jeanette Winterson |
