Hopeless heart that thrives on paradox; that longs for the beloved and is secretly relieved when the beloved is not there.
Jeanette WintersonYou play, you win, you play, you lose. You play. Itโs the playing thatโs irresistible. Dicing from one year to the next with the things you love, what you risk reveals what you value.
Jeanette WintersonI 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.
