Love Quotes Quote by Jeanette Winterson, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

““But where was God now, with heaven full of astronauts, and the Lord overthrown? I miss God. I miss the company of someone utterly loyal. I still don't think of God as my betrayer. The servants of God, yes, but servants by their very nature betray. I miss God who was my friend. I don't even know if God exists, but I do know that if God is your emotional role model, very few human relationships will match up to it. I have an idea that one day it might be possible, I thought once it had become possible, and that glimpse has set me wandering, trying to find the balance between earth and sky. If the servants hadn't rushed in and parted us, I might have been disappointed, might have snatched off the white samite to find a bowl of soup.”

“Everyone who tells a story tells it differently, just to remind us that everybody sees it differently. Some people say there are true things to be found, some people say all kinds of things can be proved. I don't believe them.

The best you can do is admire the cat's cradle, and maybe knot it up a bit more.”

“I seem to have run in a great circle, and met myself again on the starting line.”

“I want someone who is fierce and will love me until death and knows that love is as strong as death, and be on my side forever and ever. I want someone who will destroy and be destroyed by me.”

“You are the answer to every prayer I've offered. You are a song, a dream, a whisper, and I don't know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have.”

“To wish was to hope, and to hope was to expect”

“The ink of the scholar is more holy than the blood of the martyr.”

“Would you destroy Something perfect in order to make it beautiful?”

“What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.”

““All those moments throughout the days, weeks, months that don't get marked on calendars with hand-drawn stars or little stickers.”
