Quote by Jeanette Winterson

“Love, they say, enslaves and passion is a demon and many have been lost for love . . . When I fell in love it was as though I looked into a mirror for the first time and saw myself. This was me. And when I had looked at myself and grown accustomed to who I was, I was afraid to hate parts of me because I wanted to be worthy of the mirror bearer.”

“What I’m after, above all, is a sense of divine inspiration that touches the very core of my being. That lives throughout every aspect of my existence, so all I do and all I see is beauty in the simplicity, and mystery in the unknown. To let nothing drag me into the monotony of living, but to always move to the unique rhythm of each passing day. To give nothing but all of me- my soul, my heart, my fire.”
