Jeanette Winterson Quote
Listen, we are human beings. Listen, we are inclined to love. Love is there, but we need to be taught how. We want to stand upright, we want to walk, but someone needs to hold our hand and balance us a bit, and guide us a bit, and scoop us up when we fall.Listen, we fall. Love is there but we have to learn it—and its shapes and its possibilities. I taught myself how to stand on my own two feet, but I could not teach myself how to love.We have a capacity for language. We have a capacity for love. We need other people to release those capacities.
