We still think of a powerful man as a born leader and a powerful woman as an anomaly (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Little girls are cute and small only to adults. To one another they are not cute. They are life-sized (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
He's just a contact of hers, which is not the same as a friend. While she was in the hospital she decided that most of her friends were really just contacts (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
He had that faint sick look in his eyes, as if he wanted to give her something, charity for instance (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
I'm working on my own life story. I don't mean I'm putting it together; no, I'm taking it apart (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
I am the horizon you ride towards, the thing you can never lasso I am also what surrounds you: my brain scattered with your tincans, bones, empty shells, the litter of your invasions. I am the space you desecrate as you pass through (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
When you hear me singing you get the rifle down and the flashlight, aiming for my brain, but you always miss and when you set out the poison I piss on it to warn the others (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
If you feed me garbage, I will sing a song of garbage. This is a hymn (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
In restaurants we argue over which of us will pay for your funeral though the real question is whether or not I will make you immortal (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
There is more than one kind of freedom, said Aunt Lydia. Freedom to and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom to. Now you are being given freedom from. Don't underrate it (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Tell, rather than write, because I have nothing to write with and writing is in any case forbidden. But if it's a story, even in my head, I must be telling it to someone. You don't tell a story only to yourself. There's always someone else. Even when there is no one (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
The sitting room is subdued, symmetrical; it's one of the shapes money takes when it freezes (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Sanity is a valuable possession; I hoard it the way people once hoarded money. I save it, so I will have enough, when the time comes (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
By telling you anything at all I'm at least believing in you, I believe you're there, I believe you into being. Because I'm telling you this story I will your existence. I tell, therefore you are (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
As all historians know, the past is a great darkness, and filled with echoes. Voices may reach us from it; but what they say to us is imbued with the obscurity of the matrix out of which they come; and, try as we may, we cannot always decipher them precisely in the clearer light of our own day (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
She has been condemned to death by hanging. A man may escape this death by becoming the hangman, a woman by marrying the hangman. But at the present time there is no hangman; thus there is no escape. There is only a death, indefinitely postponed. This is not fantasy, it is history (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
To live in prison is to live without mirrors. To live without mirrors is to live without the self. She is living selflessly, she finds a hole in the stone wall and on the other side of the wall, a voice. The voice comes through darkness and has no face. This voice becomes her mirror (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
In order to avoid her death, her particular death, with wrung neck and swollen tongue, she must marry the hangman (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
She must transform his hands so they will be willing to twist the rope around throats that have been singled out as hers was, throats other than hers. She must marry the hangman or no one, but that is not so bad. Who else is there to marry? (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
You wonder about her crime. She was condemned to death for stealing clothes from her employer, from the wife of her employer. She wished to make herself more beautiful. This desire in servants was not legal (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
My friends, who are both women, tell me their stories, which cannot be believed and which are true. They are horror stories and they have not happened to me, they have not yet happened to me, they have happened to me but we are detached, we watch our unbelief with horror (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Everyone said he was a fool. Everyone said she was a clever woman. They used the word ensnare (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
The fact is there are no stories I can tell my friends that will make them feel better. History cannot be erased, although we can soothe ourselves by speculating about it (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Confess: it's my profession that alarms you. This is why few people ask me to dinner, though Lord knows I don't go out of my way to be scary (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
If I roll my eyes and mutter, if I clutch at my heart and scream in horror like a third-rate actress chewing up a mad scene, I do it in private and nobody sees but the bathroom mirror (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
I'm just as human as you. But it's no use asking me for a final statement. As I say, I deal in tactics. Also statistics: for every year of peace there have been four hundred years of war (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
I became a poet at the age of sixteen. I did not intend to do it. It was not my fault (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
For every age there is a popular idea about what madness is, what causes it, and how a mad person should look and behave; and it's usually these popular ideas, rather than those of medical professionals, that turn up in songs and stories and plays and books (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
