Sound waves do not die out. They travel forever and forever. All our sentences are immortal. Our useless bleatings circle the universe for all eternity.
Fay Weldon
Image
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
Image
Nothing happens, and nothing happens, and then everything happens.
Fay Weldon

Food is the supremest of pleasures.
Fay Weldon

There is no real escape from autobiography into biography. The self has to be faced, or we die.
Fay Weldon
Image
One can learn, at least. One can go on learning until the day one is cut off.

Pride is what you can afford or think you can afford.
Fay Weldon
Image
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.

one learns best, and writes best, in a state of defiance.

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.

Only one thing registers on the subconscious mind: repetitive application - practice. What you practice is what you manifest.
Fay Weldon

Novelists... fashioning nets to sustain and support the reader as he falls helplessly through the chaos of his own existence.
Fay Weldon
Image
People fail you, children disappoint you, thieves break in, moths corrupt, but an Order of the British Empire goes on for ever.
Fay Weldon
Image
Marriage is what happens when one at least of the partners doesn't want the other to get away.
Fay Weldon
Image
The prophets of doom, in my experience, are generally ignored and usually right.
Fay Weldon
Image
A woman has all too much substance in a man's eyes at the best of times. That is why men like women to be slim. Her lack of flesh negates her. The less of her there is, the less notice he need take of her. The more like a male she appears to be, the safer he feels.

Ambition will, and should, always outstrip achievement.
Fay Weldon
Image
Beauty is the first present nature gives to women and the first it takes away.
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.

Prudence says one thing, desire says another, and I'd rather go with desire any time.
