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

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

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
Image
There is no real escape from autobiography into biography. The self has to be faced, or we die.
Fay Weldon
Image
Poverty is a stubborn thing: you seldom escape it with one bound.
Fay Weldon
Image
Confidence is something one acquires. It can come early or late but it is impossible to write without it. Mine came late.

Marriage is what happens when one at least of the partners doesn't want the other to get away.
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
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!

Take me! Well, not quite take me, love me now, take me eventually
