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.

More quotes by Fay Weldon
If you put a woman in a man's position, she will be more efficient, but no more kind.
Fay Weldon
Only one thing registers on the subconscious mind: repetitive application - practice. What you practice is what you manifest.
Fay Weldon
If you do nothing unexpected, nothing unexpected happens.
Fay Weldon
Ask any woman in an arranged marriage. Love is the least stressful way out.
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
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
I was always furious because you couldn't take out more than three books in one day. You would go home with your three books and read them and it would still be only five o'clock. The library didn't shut till half past, but you couldn't change the books till the next day.
Fay Weldon
If you wake up in the morning with a great sense of the things that have to be done in the day in order to get through to the next day, you lose the sense of the day as any kind of end in itself.
Fay Weldon
Men are irrelevant. Women are happy or unhappy, fulfilled or unfulfilled, and it has nothing to do with men.
Fay Weldon
Take me! Well, not quite take me, love me now, take me eventually
Fay Weldon
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.
Fay Weldon
Prudence says one thing, desire says another, and I'd rather go with desire any time.
Fay Weldon
Pride is what you can afford or think you can afford.
Fay Weldon
A 'weakness,' I now realize, is nothing but a strength not properly developed.
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
Beauty is the first present nature gives to women and the first it takes away.
Fay Weldon
Ambition will, and should, always outstrip achievement.
Fay Weldon
One can learn, at least. One can go on learning until the day one is cut off.
Fay Weldon
I am an ordinary person, but carried to extremes.
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
