Cold morning Quote by Jeanette Winterson

“What they held was already inside me, and together we could get away. And standing over the smoldering pile of paper and type, still warm the next cold morning, I understood that there was something else I could do. "Fuck it," I thought, "I can write my own.” quote by Jeanette Winterson
