More quotes by 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
I am an ordinary person, but carried to extremes.
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
If infinity is as they describe it, all things are not just possible but in the end certain.
Fay Weldon
Image
I learned that sex was not a question of victory or defeat, of pleasure or profit: of a hand's manipulation and a physical response: I learned that in its purest pleasure it belongs to neither of those who practise it, in the same way as a child belongs to neither parent: it is a free spirit: it simply exists.

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

If you do nothing unexpected, nothing unexpected happens.
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
Image
Of course you have to believe in destiny that everything is sheer chance is an intolerable notion.
Fay Weldon
Image
memory is so selective wishful thinking presses it into service all the time.
Fay Weldon
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!

One can learn, at least. One can go on learning until the day one is cut off.
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
Image
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
Image
Writing is an act of generosity toward other people.
Fay Weldon
Image
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.

The peculiar need to write is increased, it seems, rather than allayed with practice.
Fay Weldon
Image
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.

Take me! Well, not quite take me, love me now, take me eventually

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