More quotes by Fay Weldon
Ask any woman in an arranged marriage. Love is the least stressful way out.
Fay Weldon
Pride is what you can afford or think you can afford.
Fay Weldon
Prudence says one thing, desire says another, and I'd rather go with desire any time.
Fay Weldon
A 'weakness,' I now realize, is nothing but a strength not properly developed.
Fay Weldon
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
Food is the supremest of pleasures.
Fay Weldon
The prophets of doom, in my experience, are generally ignored and usually right.
Fay Weldon
Writing is more than just the making of a series of comprehensible statements: it is the gathering in of connotations the harvesting of them, like blackberries in a good season, ripe and heavy, snatched from among the thorns of logic.
Fay Weldon
She could see that to lose a sibling was hard: it could only seem unnatural:out of time, out of order, a vicious re-run of your own departure into nothingness.
Fay Weldon
by and large, nothing is as bad as you fear, or as good as you hope.
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.
Fay Weldon
Confidence is something one acquires. It can come early or late but it is impossible to write without it. Mine came late.
Fay Weldon
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.
Fay Weldon
The peculiar need to write is increased, it seems, rather than allayed with practice.
Fay Weldon
Only one thing registers on the subconscious mind: repetitive application - practice. What you practice is what you manifest.
Fay Weldon
If you put a woman in a man's position, she will be more efficient, but no more kind.
Fay Weldon
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
Style is what's there when you look at someone's writing and you know that they wrote it and nobody else did.
Fay Weldon
Every time you open your wardrobe, you look at your clothes and you wonder what you are going to wear. What you are really saying is 'Who am I going to be today?
Fay Weldon
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.
Fay Weldon
