The prophets of doom, in my experience, are generally ignored and usually right.
Fay Weldon
Image
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.

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.

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!

Only one thing registers on the subconscious mind: repetitive application - practice. What you practice is what you manifest.
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.

Ambition will, and should, always outstrip achievement.
Fay Weldon
Image
If infinity is as they describe it, all things are not just possible but in the end certain.
Fay Weldon
Image
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.

Novelists... fashioning nets to sustain and support the reader as he falls helplessly through the chaos of his own existence.
Fay Weldon
Image
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.

Prudence says one thing, desire says another, and I'd rather go with desire any time.

If you put a woman in a man's position, she will be more efficient, but no more kind.

If you do nothing unexpected, nothing unexpected happens.
