Text Quotes
How old do you have to get before wisdom descends like a plastic bag over your head and you learn to keep your big mouth shut? Maybe never. Maybe you get more frivolous with age  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) I am afraid of falling into hopeless despair, over my wasted life, and I am still not sure how it happened  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) A prison does not only lock its inmates inside, it keeps all others out. Her strongest prison is of her own construction  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) You want the truth, of course. You want me to put two and two together. But two and two doesn’t necessarily get you the truth. Two and two equals a voice outside the window. Two and two equals the wind. The living bird is not its labeled bones  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Creating some God for one’s inspirations was always a good way to avoid accusations of pride should the scheme succeed, as well as the blame if did not  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) A rat in a maze is free to go anywhere, as long as it stays inside the maze  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) I used to think of my body as an instrument, of pleasure, or a means of transportation, or an implement for the accomplishment of my will  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) As we know from the study of history, no new system can impose itself upon a previous one without incorporating many of the elements to be found in the latter  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) I suppose it’s everyone’s fate to be reduced to quaintness by those younger than themselves  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) You can only be jealous of someone who has something you think you ought to have yourself  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) These things you did were like prayers; you did them and you hoped they would save you. And for the most part they did. Or something did; you could tell by the fact that you were still alive  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Is anything wrong, dear? the old joke went. No, why? You moved. Just don’t move  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) One and one and one and one doesn’t equal four. Each one remains unique, there is no way of joining them together. They cannot be exchanged, one for the other. They cannot replace each other  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) She had no images of this love. She could offer no anecdotes. It was a belief rather than a memory  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) She had her reasons. Not that they were the same as anybody else’s reasons  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Don’t misunderstand me. I am not scoffing at goodness, which is far more difficult to explain than evil, and far more complicated. But sometimes it’s hard to put up with  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) When you’re unhinged, things make their way out of you that should be kept inside, and other things get in that ought to be shut out. The locks lose their powers. The guards go to sleep. The passwords fail  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Where to start is the problem, because nothing begins when it begins and nothing’s over when it’s over, and everything needs a preface: a preface, a postscript, a chart of simultaneous events  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) At moments like this I envy those who have found a safe haven in which to bestow their hearts; or perhaps I envy them for having a heart to bestow. I often feel that I myself am without one, and possess in its stead merely a heart shaped stone  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) They seemed to be able to choose. We seemed to be able to choose, then. We were a society dying of too much choice  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) If it’s a story I’m telling, then I have control over the ending... 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 moment of betrayal is the worst, the moment when you know beyond any doubt that you’ve been betrayed: that some other human being has wished you that much evil  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Why is it he feels some line has been crossed, some boundary transgressed? How much is too much, how far is too far?  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) I always thought eating was a ridiculous activity anyway. I’d get out of it myself if I could, though you’ve got to do it to stay alive, they tell me  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) I want everything back, the way it was. But there is no point to it, this wanting  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Those who live alone slide into the habit of vertical eating: why bother with the niceties when there’s no one to share or censure? But laxity in one area may lead to derangement in all  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Blondes are like white mice, you only find them in cages. They wouldn’t last long in nature. They’re too conspicuous  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) So this was the rest of his life. It felt like a party to which he’d been invited, but at an address he couldn’t actually locate. Someone must be having fun at it, this life of his; only, right at the moment, it wasn’t him  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) It’s doors I’m afraid of because I can’t see through them, its the door opening by itself in the wind I’m afraid of  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) I believe in the resistance as I believe there can be no light without shadow; or rather, no shadow unless there is also light  (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
