"I don’t write for any group. I write to bring about a change in consciousness." ― Jeanette Winterson Topic(s): Change More From Jeanette Winterson "If you continually write and read yourself as a fiction, you can change what’s crushing you." "I don’t read reviews because by then it’s too late – whatever anyone says, the book won’t change. It is written." "You never give away your heart; you lend it from time to time. If it were not so, how could we take it back without asking?" More In Change "One of the things that happens when people make the leap from a certain amount of money to tens of millions of dollars is that the people around you dramatically change."― Dave Chappelle "I want to be able to look back and say, ‘I’ve done everything I can, and I was successful.’ I don’t want to look back and say I should have done this or that. I’d like to change things for the younger generation of swimmers coming along."― Michael Phelps "It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad."― C. S. Lewis
