Jeanette Winterson Quotes About Imagination

Quotes about: Imagination

• I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you. For me, imagination and desire are very close.

  Jeanette Winterson

  Dream, Imagination, Desire

• While I can’t have you, I long for you. I am the kind of person who would miss a train or a plane to meet you for coffee. I’d take a taxi across town to see you for ten minutes. I’d wait outside all night if I thought you would open the door in the morning. If you call me and say ‘Will you…’ my answer is ‘Yes’, before your sentence is out. I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you. For me, imagination and desire are very close.

• [Fiction and poetry] are medicines, they're doses, and they heal the rupture that reality makes on the imagination.

  Jeanette Winterson

  Reality, Medicine, Imagination

• I had lines inside me, a string of guiding lights. I had language. Fiction and poetry are doses, medicines. What they heal is the rupture reality makes on the imagination. I had been damaged, and a very important part of me had been destroyed - that was my reality, the facts of my life. But on the other side of the facts was who I could be, how I could feel. And as long as I had words for that, images for that, stories for that, then I wasn't lost.
