More quotes by 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.
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
Image
People fail you, children disappoint you, thieves break in, moths corrupt, but an Order of the British Empire goes on for ever.
Fay Weldon
Image
Only one thing registers on the subconscious mind: repetitive application - practice. What you practice is what you manifest.
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.

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
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!

Writing is an act of generosity toward other people.
Fay Weldon
Image
Preserve your peace of mind. There is not much time all things end in death. Do not lament the past too much, or fear the future too acutely, ot waste too much energy on other peoples' woes, in case the present dissolves altogether.
Fay Weldon
Image
Poverty is a stubborn thing: you seldom escape it with one bound.
Fay Weldon
Image
Novelists... fashioning nets to sustain and support the reader as he falls helplessly through the chaos of his own existence.
Fay Weldon
Image
I was seduced by secrets, which are to true love as artificial sweetener is to sugar, calorie-free but in the long run carcinogenic, not the real thing, and only a peculiar aftertaste in the mouth to tell you so, to warn you.

Ambition will, and should, always outstrip achievement.

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

Men are irrelevant. Women are happy or unhappy, fulfilled or unfulfilled, and it has nothing to do with men.
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.

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