“It was actually books that started to make those pockets of freedom, which I hadn't otherwise experienced. I do see them as talismans, as sacred objects. I see them as something that will protect me, I suppose, that will save me from things that I feel are threatening. I still think that; it doesn't change. It doesn't change, having money, being successful. So from the very first, if I was hurt in some way, then I would take a book -- which was very difficult for me to buy when I was little -- and I would go up into the hills, and that is how I would assuage my hurt.” IfsThinkingWayFeelsFirstsLittlesStillsBookDifficultHurtSuccessfulObjectsProtectSacredHillsBeing SuccessfulPocketsThreateningSave MeTalismansI Was Hurt Author:Jeanette Winterson
