Image
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
Image
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
Image
Ambition will, and should, always outstrip achievement.
Fay Weldon
Image
There is no real escape from autobiography into biography. The self has to be faced, or we die.
Fay Weldon

Of course you have to believe in destiny that everything is sheer chance is an intolerable notion.
Fay Weldon

Be bold, but not too bold. Have courage, but not too much.

Nothing happens, and nothing happens, and then everything happens.
Fay Weldon

A woman has all too much substance in a man's eyes at the best of times. That is why men like women to be slim. Her lack of flesh negates her. The less of her there is, the less notice he need take of her. The more like a male she appears to be, the safer he feels.

Poverty is a stubborn thing: you seldom escape it with one bound.
Fay Weldon
Image
I am an ordinary person, but carried to extremes.
Fay Weldon

If infinity is as they describe it, all things are not just possible but in the end certain.
Fay Weldon
Image
Every time you open your wardrobe, you look at your clothes and you wonder what you are going to wear. What you are really saying is 'Who am I going to be today?
Fay Weldon
Image
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

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

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
Image
memory is so selective wishful thinking presses it into service all the time.
Fay Weldon
Image
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.
