The prophets of doom, in my experience, are generally ignored and usually right.
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.
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
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
Image
Writing is an act of generosity toward other people.
Fay Weldon
Image
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.

Pride is what you can afford or think you can afford.
Fay Weldon
Image
If you put a woman in a man's position, she will be more efficient, but no more kind.

At once!

Poverty is a stubborn thing: you seldom escape it with one bound.
Fay Weldon
Image
Be bold, but not too bold. Have courage, but not too much.
Fay Weldon
Image
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
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
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
one learns best, and writes best, in a state of defiance.
