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.

More quotes by Fay Weldon
I know that I'm a real writer because sometimes I write a story just because I want to not because someone's told me to.
Fay Weldon
Nothing happens, and nothing happens, and then everything happens.
Fay Weldon
The peculiar need to write is increased, it seems, rather than allayed with practice.
Fay Weldon
The prophets of doom, in my experience, are generally ignored and usually right.
Fay Weldon
There is no real escape from autobiography into biography. The self has to be faced, or we die.
Fay Weldon
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

Fay Weldon
memory is so selective wishful thinking presses it into service all the time.
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
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
Instinct' usually just means our conditioning to believe this or believe that, without thinking to investigate.
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
There is probably an innate masochism in a lot of women that ends up disappointed if men don't ill-treat them.
Fay Weldon
Writing is an act of generosity toward other people.
Fay Weldon
If you do nothing unexpected, nothing unexpected happens.
Fay Weldon
Only one thing registers on the subconscious mind: repetitive application - practice. What you practice is what you manifest.
Fay Weldon
Be bold, but not too bold. Have courage, but not too much.
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
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
