Ambition will, and should, always outstrip achievement.
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.
Fay Weldon

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

If you do nothing unexpected, nothing unexpected happens.
Fay Weldon

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.

One can learn, at least. One can go on learning until the day one is cut off.
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!

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
If infinity is as they describe it, all things are not just possible but in the end certain.
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.
Fay Weldon
Image
Preserve your peace of mind. There is not much time all things end in death. Do not lament the past too much, or fear the future too acutely, ot waste too much energy on other peoples' woes, in case the present dissolves altogether.
Fay Weldon

Writers are always a great nuisance to publishers. If they could do without them, they would.

Beauty is the first present nature gives to women and the first it takes away.

Pride is what you can afford or think you can afford.
