More quotes by Fay Weldon
Food is the supremest of pleasures.
Fay Weldon
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.
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
There is probably an innate masochism in a lot of women that ends up disappointed if men don't ill-treat them.
Fay Weldon
Prudence says one thing, desire says another, and I'd rather go with desire any time.
Fay Weldon
There is no real escape from autobiography into biography. The self has to be faced, or we die.
Fay Weldon
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
Sound waves do not die out. They travel forever and forever. All our sentences are immortal. Our useless bleatings circle the universe for all eternity.
Fay Weldon
by and large, nothing is as bad as you fear, or as good as you hope.
Fay Weldon
No one should be allowed to give back the gift of life, unless they are very old and full of tears, when the body outlives the spirit, when they should be allowed to join the others who've already gone.
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
Nothing happens, and nothing happens, and then everything happens.
Fay Weldon
Instinct' usually just means our conditioning to believe this or believe that, without thinking to investigate.
Fay Weldon
memory is so selective wishful thinking presses it into service all the time.
Fay Weldon
Marriage is what happens when one at least of the partners doesn't want the other to get away.
Fay Weldon
If infinity is as they describe it, all things are not just possible but in the end certain.
Fay Weldon
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 am an ordinary person, but carried to extremes.
Fay Weldon
Writing is an act of generosity toward other people.
Fay Weldon
The prophets of doom, in my experience, are generally ignored and usually right.
Fay Weldon
