Writers are always a great nuisance to publishers. If they could do without them, they would.
Fay Weldon
Image
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

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
Image
Preserve your peace of mind. There is not much time all things end in death. Do not lament the past too much, or fear the future too acutely, ot waste too much energy on other peoples' woes, in case the present dissolves altogether.
Fay Weldon
