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.

More quotes by 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
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
Pride is what you can afford or think you can afford.
Fay Weldon
memory is so selective wishful thinking presses it into service all the time.
Fay Weldon
A 'weakness,' I now realize, is nothing but a strength not properly developed.
Fay Weldon
We shelter children for a time we live side by side with men and that is all. We owe them nothing, and are owed nothing. I think we owe our friends more, especially our female friends.
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
Of course you have to believe in destiny that everything is sheer chance is an intolerable notion.
Fay Weldon
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
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
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
Only one thing registers on the subconscious mind: repetitive application - practice. What you practice is what you manifest.
Fay Weldon
The New Women! I could barely recognize them as being of the same sex as myself... They are satiated by everything, hungry for nothing. They are what I wanted to be they are what I worked for them to be: and now I see them, I hate them.
Fay Weldon
Instinct' usually just means our conditioning to believe this or believe that, without thinking to investigate.
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
Food is the supremest of pleasures.
Fay Weldon
Style is what's there when you look at someone's writing and you know that they wrote it and nobody else did.
Fay Weldon
Ask any woman in an arranged marriage. Love is the least stressful way out.
Fay Weldon
People fail you, children disappoint you, thieves break in, moths corrupt, but an Order of the British Empire goes on for ever.
