A 'weakness,' I now realize, is nothing but a strength not properly developed.
Fay Weldon

Poverty is a stubborn thing: you seldom escape it with one bound.
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

If you put a woman in a man's position, she will be more efficient, but no more kind.
Fay Weldon
Image
There is probably an innate masochism in a lot of women that ends up disappointed if men don't ill-treat them.
Fay Weldon

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

The prophets of doom, in my experience, are generally ignored and usually right.
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
Of course you have to believe in destiny that everything is sheer chance is an intolerable notion.
Fay Weldon

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

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.

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

Confidence is something one acquires. It can come early or late but it is impossible to write without it. Mine came late.
