More quotes by Fay Weldon
by and large, nothing is as bad as you fear, or as good as you hope.
Fay Weldon
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!
Fay Weldon
Beauty is the first present nature gives to women and the first it takes away.
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
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
There is no real escape from autobiography into biography. The self has to be faced, or we die.
Fay Weldon
Only one thing registers on the subconscious mind: repetitive application - practice. What you practice is what you manifest.
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
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
Writers are always a great nuisance to publishers. If they could do without them, they would.
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
No one should be allowed to give back the gift of life, unless they are very old and full of tears, when the body outlives the spirit, when they should be allowed to join the others who've already gone.
Fay Weldon
If you put a woman in a man's position, she will be more efficient, but no more kind.
Fay Weldon
I know that I'm a real writer because sometimes I write a story just because I want to not because someone's told me to.
Fay Weldon
Novelists... fashioning nets to sustain and support the reader as he falls helplessly through the chaos of his own existence.
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
One can learn, at least. One can go on learning until the day one is cut off.
Fay Weldon
Be bold, but not too bold. Have courage, but not too much.
Fay Weldon
Marriage is what happens when one at least of the partners doesn't want the other to get away.
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.
Fay Weldon
