"Art saved me; it got me through my depression and self-loathing, back to a place of innocence." ― Jeanette Winterson Topic(s): Art More From Jeanette Winterson "I believe in communication; books communicate ideas and make bridges between people." "If you continually write and read yourself as a fiction, you can change what’s crushing you." "The curious are always in some danger. If you are curious you might never come home." More In Art "There is nothing in the world of art like the songs mother used to sing."― Billy Sunday "In art, scandal is a false narrative, a smoke screen that camouflages rather than reveals. When we don’t know what we’re seeing, we overreact."― Jerry Saltz "It’s a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it."― W. H. Auden
