More quotes by Fay Weldon
Every time you open your wardrobe, you look at your clothes and you wonder what you are going to wear. What you are really saying is 'Who am I going to be today?
Fay Weldon
A woman has all too much substance in a man's eyes at the best of times. That is why men like women to be slim. Her lack of flesh negates her. The less of her there is, the less notice he need take of her. The more like a male she appears to be, the safer he feels.
Fay Weldon
Beauty is the first present nature gives to women and the first it takes away.
Fay Weldon
Of course you have to believe in destiny that everything is sheer chance is an intolerable notion.
Fay Weldon
One can learn, at least. One can go on learning until the day one is cut off.
Fay Weldon
There is probably an innate masochism in a lot of women that ends up disappointed if men don't ill-treat them.
Fay Weldon
I was always furious because you couldn't take out more than three books in one day. You would go home with your three books and read them and it would still be only five o'clock. The library didn't shut till half past, but you couldn't change the books till the next day.
Fay Weldon
So much for the fruits of love. Love? What's love? Sex, ah, that's another thing. Love has babies: sex has abortions.
Fay Weldon
No one seemed able to look at themselves, coolly, from the outside. Their reality was all that could be seen in the light cast ahead by their own wishful thinking.
Fay Weldon
Be bold, but not too bold. Have courage, but not too much.
Fay Weldon
I learned that sex was not a question of victory or defeat, of pleasure or profit: of a hand's manipulation and a physical response: I learned that in its purest pleasure it belongs to neither of those who practise it, in the same way as a child belongs to neither parent: it is a free spirit: it simply exists.
Fay Weldon
Ask any woman in an arranged marriage. Love is the least stressful way out.
Fay Weldon
All mothers love their own children as best they can, according to their temperament and circumstances, and all mothers should have done better, in their children's eyes, when the going gets tough for the children.
Fay Weldon
Ambition will, and should, always outstrip achievement.
Fay Weldon
Novelists... fashioning nets to sustain and support the reader as he falls helplessly through the chaos of his own existence.
Fay Weldon
I know that I'm a real writer because sometimes I write a story just because I want to not because someone's told me to.
Fay Weldon
one learns best, and writes best, in a state of defiance.
Fay Weldon
If you put a woman in a man's position, she will be more efficient, but no more kind.
Fay Weldon
Preserve your peace of mind. There is not much time all things end in death. Do not lament the past too much, or fear the future too acutely, ot waste too much energy on other peoples' woes, in case the present dissolves altogether.
Fay Weldon
Marriage is what happens when one at least of the partners doesn't want the other to get away.
Fay Weldon
