More quotes by Fay Weldon
So much for the fruits of love. Love? What's love? Sex, ah, that's another thing. Love has babies: sex has abortions.
Fay Weldon
Instinct' usually just means our conditioning to believe this or believe that, without thinking to investigate.
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
Pride is what you can afford or think you can afford.
Fay Weldon
If you do nothing unexpected, nothing unexpected happens.
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
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
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
Only one thing registers on the subconscious mind: repetitive application - practice. What you practice is what you manifest.
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
There is no real escape from autobiography into biography. The self has to be faced, or we die.
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
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
People fail you, children disappoint you, thieves break in, moths corrupt, but an Order of the British Empire goes on for ever.
Fay Weldon
Writing is an act of generosity toward other people.
Fay Weldon
Nothing happens, and nothing happens, and then everything happens.
Fay Weldon
A 'weakness,' I now realize, is nothing but a strength not properly developed.
Fay Weldon
The peculiar need to write is increased, it seems, rather than allayed with practice.
Fay Weldon
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.
Fay Weldon
memory is so selective wishful thinking presses it into service all the time.
