22 September: Fay Weldon

Today is the birthday of the author Fay Weldon, who was born in 1931. Here are 10 quotes:

  1. Beauty is the first present nature gives to women and the first it takes away.
  2. If you do nothing unexpected, nothing unexpected happens.
  3. 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.
  4. There was no such thing as defeat if you didn't accept it.
  5. I am not cynical. I am just old. I know what is going to happen next.
  6. Be bold, but not too bold. Have courage, but not too much.
  7. A 'weakness,' I now realize, is nothing but a strength not properly developed.
  8. Prudence says one thing, desire says another, and I'd rather go with desire any time.
  9. Because one cause is bad does not make the opposing cause good.
  10. By and large, nothing is as bad as you fear, or as good as you hope.
