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
Image
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.
Fay Weldon
Image
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
Image
Men are irrelevant. Women are happy or unhappy, fulfilled or unfulfilled, and it has nothing to do with men.
Fay Weldon
Image
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
Image
A 'weakness,' I now realize, is nothing but a strength not properly developed.
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

Food is the supremest of pleasures.
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.

There is probably an innate masochism in a lot of women that ends up disappointed if men don't ill-treat them.

Ask any woman in an arranged marriage. Love is the least stressful way out.
