Jeanette Winterson Quotes

I love diving into the unknown. That's been my M.O. ever since I was a kid.

It could be cheating at cards or eating a peanut even though you're allergic. For me, danger might be getting out from the protective cloak of my family and venturing into the world more of my own, even though I don't know what- or who- awaits me.
