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.

More quotes by 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
Writing is an act of generosity toward other people.
Fay Weldon
Prudence says one thing, desire says another, and I'd rather go with desire any time.
Fay Weldon
Confidence is something one acquires. It can come early or late but it is impossible to write without it. Mine came late.
Fay Weldon
Take me! Well, not quite take me, love me now, take me eventually
Fay Weldon
Writing is more than just the making of a series of comprehensible statements: it is the gathering in of connotations the harvesting of them, like blackberries in a good season, ripe and heavy, snatched from among the thorns of logic.
Fay Weldon
Beauty is the first present nature gives to women and the first it takes away.
Fay Weldon
Style is what's there when you look at someone's writing and you know that they wrote it and nobody else did.
Fay Weldon
She could see that to lose a sibling was hard: it could only seem unnatural:out of time, out of order, a vicious re-run of your own departure into nothingness.
Fay Weldon
Be bold, but not too bold. Have courage, but not too much.
Fay Weldon
Pride is what you can afford or think you can afford.
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
If you wake up in the morning with a great sense of the things that have to be done in the day in order to get through to the next day, you lose the sense of the day as any kind of end in itself.
Fay Weldon
Marriage is what happens when one at least of the partners doesn't want the other to get away.
Fay Weldon
If infinity is as they describe it, all things are not just possible but in the end certain.
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.
Fay Weldon
There is no real escape from autobiography into biography. The self has to be faced, or we die.
Fay Weldon
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.
Fay Weldon
I am an ordinary person, but carried to extremes.
Fay Weldon
Every time you open your wardrobe, you look at your clothes and you wonder what you are going to wear. What you are really saying is 'Who am I going to be today?
Fay Weldon
