Instinct' usually just means our conditioning to believe this or believe that, without thinking to investigate.
Fay Weldon

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.

To be able to visit the City of Invention at will, depart at will – that is all, really, education is about, should be about.

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

I was always furious because you couldn't take out more than three books in one day. You would go home with your three books and read them and it would still be only five o'clock. The library didn't shut till half past, but you couldn't change the books till the next day.
Fay Weldon
