“Worry less about what other people think about you, and more about what you think about them.”
― Fay Weldon

“It is the memory of past happiness that makes the present so intolerable.”
― Fay Weldon, The Fat Woman's Joke

“Pick a man, any man. Every guy I fall for becomes Jesus Christ within the first twenty-four hours of our relationship. I know that this happens, I see it happening, I even feel myself, sometimes, standing at some temporal crossroads, some distinct moment at which I can walk away and keep it from happening, but I never do. I grab at everything, I end up with nothing, and then I feel bereft. I mourn for the loss of something I never even had.”
― Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation

“One must be careful with words. Words turn probabilities into facts and by sheer force of
definition translate tendencies into habits.”
― Fay Weldon
