More quotes by Jennifer Weiner
I went to Princeton, I minored in women's studies.
Jennifer Weiner
I don't think any writer chooses what his or her work is called.
Jennifer Weiner
People are always coming up to me with my books and saying, 'You write these things I think but I could never say,'
Jennifer Weiner
Women are far and away the bigger consumers of fiction than men, but men are still far and away the more reviewed, the more critically esteemed, the more respected. That can get frustrating.
Jennifer Weiner
I'm not in charge of my life.
Jennifer Weiner
I will love myself, and my body, for what it can do- because it is strong enough to lift, to walk, to ride a bicyle up a hill, to embrace the people I love and hold them fully, and to nurture a new life. I will love myself because I am sturdy. Because I did not -will not- break.
Jennifer Weiner
I didn’t feel anything but a bone-deep weariness. Like I was suddenly a hundred years old, and I knew at that moment I would have to live a hundred more years, carrying my grief around like a backpack full of stones.
Jennifer Weiner
I think every person who is single should have a dog. I think the government should step in and intervene: If you're not married or coupled up, whether you've been dumped or divorced or widowed or whatever, they should require you to proceed immediately to the pound nearest you and select an animal companion.
Jennifer Weiner
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the patience not to strangle my mother-in-law, chop her into little pieces, and dump them down a sewer.
Jennifer Weiner
If you put a pink cover on something, critics make a certain set of assumptions and may not even read the book. But my readers are happy with it.
Jennifer Weiner
I think it has as much to do with honoring my own voice as it does with feeling a responsibility to my readers or my daughters.
Jennifer Weiner
It's as if the fasion designers decided that once a woman hit a certain weight, she'd have no need for business suits, for skirts and blazers, for anything except glorified sweatsuits, and they tried to apologize for dressing us like overaged Teletubbies by silk-screening daisies on the tops.
Jennifer Weiner
I think there are a lot of books about thin, attractive people having thin, attractive people's problems. I'm better set up to tell a different story.
Jennifer Weiner
I'm going to continue writing. I'll always be a storyteller. But I'm also taking time to enjoy my life.
Jennifer Weiner
People say I'm not good at writing about men. My dad left when I was 16. Give me a break. I'm doing the best I can.
Jennifer Weiner
Maybe love was a myth anyhow, a brew of hormones and fantasy, evolution's way of getting men and women together long enough for them to procreate,back in the day when girls got pregnant at twelve, were pregnant or nursing for the next twenty years, and were dead of the plague by forty.
Jennifer Weiner
Whenever people with money have power over people with less money, you have the potential for exploitation.
Jennifer Weiner
So here I am. Twenty-eight years old, with thirty looming on the horizon. Drunk. Fat. Alone. Unloved. And, worst of all, a cliche, Ally McBeal and Bridget Jones put together, which was probably about how much I weighed.
Jennifer Weiner
I don't particularly like being angry about stuff. I'd rather hang out with my daughter and write my little books.
Jennifer Weiner
Things happen, and you can't make them unhappen. You don't get do-overs, you can't roll back the clock, and the only thing you can change, and the only thing it does any good to worry about, is how you let them affect you.
