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

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.

Confidence is something one acquires. It can come early or late but it is impossible to write without it. Mine came late.
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.

A 'weakness,' I now realize, is nothing but a strength not properly developed.
