More quotes by Fay Weldon
If infinity is as they describe it, all things are not just possible but in the end certain.
Fay Weldon
Ask any woman in an arranged marriage. Love is the least stressful way out.
Fay Weldon
Only one thing registers on the subconscious mind: repetitive application - practice. What you practice is what you manifest.
Fay Weldon
I learned that sex was not a question of victory or defeat, of pleasure or profit: of a hand's manipulation and a physical response: I learned that in its purest pleasure it belongs to neither of those who practise it, in the same way as a child belongs to neither parent: it is a free spirit: it simply exists.
Fay Weldon
We shelter children for a time we live side by side with men and that is all. We owe them nothing, and are owed nothing. I think we owe our friends more, especially our female friends.
Fay Weldon
Prudence says one thing, desire says another, and I'd rather go with desire any time.
Fay Weldon
If you put a woman in a man's position, she will be more efficient, but no more kind.
Fay Weldon
Take me! Well, not quite take me, love me now, take me eventually
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
memory is so selective wishful thinking presses it into service all the time.
Fay Weldon
The prophets of doom, in my experience, are generally ignored and usually right.
Fay Weldon
The peculiar need to write is increased, it seems, rather than allayed with practice.
Fay Weldon
Men are irrelevant. Women are happy or unhappy, fulfilled or unfulfilled, and it has nothing to do with men.
Fay Weldon
One can learn, at least. One can go on learning until the day one is cut off.
Fay Weldon
Youth gives a sense of new days dawning bright, going on for ever, and a kind of tamped-down excitement which keeps breaking through even the worst days of poverty, depression and loneliness. But then youth is something which only exists in retrospect you are barely conscious of it while you have it.
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
Food is the supremest of pleasures.
Fay Weldon
Pride is what you can afford or think you can afford.
Fay Weldon
So much for the fruits of love. Love? What's love? Sex, ah, that's another thing. Love has babies: sex has abortions.
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
