Jeanette Winterson Quotes About Temptation

Quotes about: Temptation

• Love is the one thing stronger than desire and the only proper reason to resist temptation.

  Jeanette Winterson

  Love Is, Temptation, Desire

  Jeanette Winterson (2013). “Written On The Body”, p.78, Random House

• When I say 'I will be true to you' I am drawing a quiet space beyond the reach of other desires. No one can legislate love; it cannot be given orders or cajoled into service. Love belongs to itself, deaf to pleading and unmoved by violence. Love is not something you can negotiate. Love is the one thing stronger than desire and the only proper reason to resist temptation.

  Jeanette Winterson

  Love Is, Order, Drawing

• There are those who say that temptation can be barricaded beyond the door. The ones who think that stray desires can be driven out of the heart like the moneychangers from the temple. Maybe they can, if you patrol your weak points day and night, don't look, don't smell, don't dream.
