Image
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

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
memory is so selective wishful thinking presses it into service all the time.
Fay Weldon
Image
Food is the supremest of pleasures.
Fay Weldon
Image
There is no real escape from autobiography into biography. The self has to be faced, or we die.
Fay Weldon
Image
Only one thing registers on the subconscious mind: repetitive application - practice. What you practice is what you manifest.
Fay Weldon
Image
Instinct' usually just means our conditioning to believe this or believe that, without thinking to investigate.
Fay Weldon
Image
If infinity is as they describe it, all things are not just possible but in the end certain.
Fay Weldon
Image
No one seemed able to look at themselves, coolly, from the outside. Their reality was all that could be seen in the light cast ahead by their own wishful thinking.

Image
Ask any woman in an arranged marriage. Love is the least stressful way out.
Fay Weldon
Image
Men are irrelevant. Women are happy or unhappy, fulfilled or unfulfilled, and it has nothing to do with men.
