More quotes by Fay Weldon
Poverty is a stubborn thing: you seldom escape it with one bound.
Fay Weldon
Nothing happens, and nothing happens, and then everything happens.
Fay Weldon
Take me! Well, not quite take me, love me now, take me eventually
Fay Weldon
Because clearly the most amazing thing had happened: by some chance - no, the lover does not believe in chance, but destiny - destiny had arranged it so that the man and woman who had made the original whole, then somehow divided and separated by an angry God, had met up again, and now must reform the rightful, righteous whole. At once!
Fay Weldon
Truly Alice, books are wonderful things to sit alone in a room and laugh and cry, because you are reading, and still be safe when you close the book and having finished it, discover you are changed, yet unchanged! To be able to visit the City of Invention at will, depart at will – that is all, really, education is about, should be about.
Fay Weldon
Beauty is the first present nature gives to women and the first it takes away.
Fay Weldon
memory is so selective wishful thinking presses it into service all the time.
Fay Weldon
If infinity is as they describe it, all things are not just possible but in the end certain.
Fay Weldon
Ask any woman in an arranged marriage. Love is the least stressful way out.
Fay Weldon
Ambition will, and should, always outstrip achievement.
Fay Weldon
Writers are always a great nuisance to publishers. If they could do without them, they would.
Fay Weldon
Confidence is something one acquires. It can come early or late but it is impossible to write without it. Mine came late.
Fay Weldon
Pride is what you can afford or think you can afford.
Fay Weldon
People fail you, children disappoint you, thieves break in, moths corrupt, but an Order of the British Empire goes on for ever.
Fay Weldon
Writing is an act of generosity toward other people.
Fay Weldon
The peculiar need to write is increased, it seems, rather than allayed with practice.
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
Novelists... fashioning nets to sustain and support the reader as he falls helplessly through the chaos of his own existence.
Fay Weldon
Of course you have to believe in destiny that everything is sheer chance is an intolerable notion.
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
