LOVE DESIGN // LIGHTHOUSEKEEPING

[girlypopinspos]

"This is not a love story, but love is in it. That is, love is just outside it, looking for a way to break in."

— Jeanette Winterson, Lighthousekeeping

“I unlatched the shutters. The light was as intense as a love affair. I was blinded, delighted, not just because it was warm and wonderful, but because nature measures nothing. Nobody needs this much sunlight. Nobody needs droughts, volcanoes, monsoons, tornadoes either, but we get them, because our world is as extravagant as a world can be. We are the ones obsessed by measurement. The world just pours it out.”

— Jeanette Winterson, Lighthousekeeping

Nothing can be forgotten. Nothing can be lost. The universe itself is one vast memory system. Look back and you will find the beginnings of the world.

—Jeanette Winterson, Lighthousekeeping
