Text Quotes
Time is not a line but a dimension, like the dimensions of space. If you can bend space you can bend time also, and if you knew enough and could move faster than light you could travel backwards in time and exist in two places at once (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Some travelers think they want to go to foreign places but are dismayed when the places turn out actually to be foreign (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
If you’re a woman writer, sometime, somewhere, you will be asked: Do you think of yourself as a writer first, or as a woman first? Look out. Whoever asks this hates and fears both writing and women (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
There’s something final about saying you were married once. It’s like saying you were dead once. It shuts them up (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Nothing is more difficult than to understand the dead, I’ve found; but nothing is more dangerous than to ignore them (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Writing is alone, but I don’t think it’s lonely. Ask any writer if they feel lonely when they’re writing their book, and I think they’ll say no (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
My brother and I were both teenage writers, and he was, I have to say, better than I was, but he went into science, and I went into writing (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
The fabric of democracy is always fragile everywhere because it depends on the will of citizens to protect it, and when they become scared, when it becomes dangerous for them to defend it, it can go very quickly (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
We do not know how we’d behave. But a lot of people facing fascism didn’t become fascists. I don’t happen to believe that we are all monsters (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Sometimes reactions can be quite surprising: readers like things that you, the author, feel you’ve barely gotten away with; or they dislike one of the parts you secretly think is one of your little gems (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Reading is one of the most individual things that happens. So every reader is going to read a piece in a slightly different way, sometimes a radically different way (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Kafka thought his stories were hilarious. We don’t necessarily have that reaction to them, but he certainly laughed his head off every time he read them out loud (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Don’t eat anything you aren’t prepared to kill. Don’t kill anything you aren’t prepared to eat (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Vanity is becoming a nuisance, I can see why women give it up, eventually. But I’m not ready for that yet (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
The alcohol smell is on my fingers, cold and remote, piercing like a steel pin going in. It smells like white enamel basins. When I look up at the stars in the nighttime, cold and white and sharp, I think they must smell like that (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Today on the way home, it snows. Big, soft caressing flakes fall onto our skin like cold moths; the air fills with feathers (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Old lovers go the way of old photographs, bleaching out gradually as in a slow bath of acid: first the moles and pimples, then the shadings. Then the faces themselves, until nothing remains but the general outlines (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
He considers me also a little fragile because artistic. I need to be cared for, like a potted plant (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
And each of his voices left his body in a different colored soul and floated up towards the sun still singing (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Cleverness is a quality a man likes to have in his wife as long as she is some distance away from him. Up close, he’ll take kindness any day of the week, if there’s nothing more alluring to be had (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
It wasn’t so easy though, ending the war. A war is a huge fire; the ashes from it drift far, and settle slowly (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Perhaps I write for no one. Perhaps for the same person children are writing for when they scrawl their names in the snow (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
The true story is vicious and multiple and untrue after all. Why do you need it? Don’t ever ask for the true story (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Beginnings are sudden, but also insidious. They creep up on you sideways, they keep to the shadows, they lurk unrecognized. Then, later, they spring (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
She knows herself to be at the mercy of events, and she knows by now that events have no mercy (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Canadians are fond of a good disaster, especially if it has ice, water, or snow in it. You thought the national flag was about a leaf, didn’t you? Look harder. It’s where someone got axed in the snow (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Romance takes place in the middle distance. Romance is looking in at yourself through a window clouded with dew. Romance means leaving things out: where life grunts and shuffles, romance only sighs (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Imagine a famine. Now imagine a piece of bread. Both of these things are real but you happen to be in the same room with only one of them. Put yourself into a different room, that’s what the mind is for (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Knowing too much about other people puts you in their power, they have a claim on you, you are forced to understand their reasons for doing things and then you are weakened (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
To take that risk, to offer life and remain alive, open yourself like this and become whole (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
