Image
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
Image
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
Image
Confidence is something one acquires. It can come early or late but it is impossible to write without it. Mine came late.
Fay Weldon
Image
Writing is an act of generosity toward other people.
Fay Weldon
Image
To the happy all things come: happiness can even bring the dead back to life. It is our resentments, our dreariness, our hate and envy, unrecognized by us, which keeps us miserable. Yet these things are in our heads, not out of our hands we own them. We can throw them out if we choose.
Fay Weldon
Image
If you wake up in the morning with a great sense of the things that have to be done in the day in order to get through to the next day, you lose the sense of the day as any kind of end in itself.
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
Image
She could see that to lose a sibling was hard: it could only seem unnatural:out of time, out of order, a vicious re-run of your own departure into nothingness.
Fay Weldon
Image
I was seduced by secrets, which are to true love as artificial sweetener is to sugar, calorie-free but in the long run carcinogenic, not the real thing, and only a peculiar aftertaste in the mouth to tell you so, to warn you.
Fay Weldon
Image
one learns best, and writes best, in a state of defiance.
Fay Weldon
Image
Pride is what you can afford or think you can afford.
Fay Weldon
Image
Youth gives a sense of new days dawning bright, going on for ever, and a kind of tamped-down excitement which keeps breaking through even the worst days of poverty, depression and loneliness. But then youth is something which only exists in retrospect you are barely conscious of it while you have it.
Fay Weldon
Image
Writing is more than just the making of a series of comprehensible statements: it is the gathering in of connotations the harvesting of them, like blackberries in a good season, ripe and heavy, snatched from among the thorns of logic.
Fay Weldon
Image
When today's young woman says she isn't a feminist what she means is she isn't a lesbian and she doesn't hate men, she likes to wear make-up and she enjoys a laugh. In which she is no different from many an early feminist.

Poverty is a stubborn thing: you seldom escape it with one bound.
Fay Weldon
Image
A 'weakness,' I now realize, is nothing but a strength not properly developed.
Fay Weldon
Image
Take me! Well, not quite take me, love me now, take me eventually
Fay Weldon
Image
The prophets of doom, in my experience, are generally ignored and usually right.
Fay Weldon
Image
Of course you have to believe in destiny that everything is sheer chance is an intolerable notion.
