What will I put on them? Will it be good enough? Will I have to throw it out?  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Where there’s a doctor it’s always a bad sign.

It happens when you have the craft and the vocation and are waiting for something else, something extra, or maybe not waiting; in any case it happens. It’s the extra rabbit coming out of the hat, the one you didn’t put there  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) When a man is attacked in print, it’s usually for saying what he says; when a woman is attacked in print, it’s often for being who she is  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) It’s probably a form of childish curiosity that keeps me going as a fiction writer. I... want to open everybody’s bureau drawers and see what they keep in there. I’m nosy  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) The road to death is a lonely highway, and longer than it apears, even when it leads straight down from the scaffold, by way of a rope; and it’s a dark road, with never any moon shining on it, to light your way  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Publishers are in business to make money, and if your books do well they don’t care if you are male, female, or an elephant  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Laughter may instruct but it may also conceal, defending the joker against anger and retaliation: a game is only a game  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) I’m a refugee from the past, and like other refugees I go over the customs and habits of being I’ve left or been forced to leave behind me, and it all seems just as quaint, from here, and I am just as obsessive about it  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) The truth, it seems, is not just what you find when you open a door: it is itself a door, which the poet is always on the verge of going through  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) It is my contention that the process of reading is part of the process of writing, the necessary completion without which writing can hardly be said to exist  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) If you disagree with your government, that’s political. If you disagree with your government that is approaching theocracy, then you’re evil  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) A suicide is both a rebuke to the living and a puzzle that defies them to solve it.
