So I will myself to go on  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) There’s more than one way to skin a cat, my father used to say; it bothered me, I didn’t see why they would want to skin a cat even one way  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) I don’t know why they are all so eager to be remembered. What good will it do them? There are some things that should be forgotten by everyone, and never spoken of again  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Screw poetry, it’s you I want, your taste, rain on you, mouth on your skin  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) I’m not used to girls, or familiar with their customs. I feel awkward around them, I don’t know what to say. I know the unspoken rules of boys, but with girls I sense that I am always on the verge of some unforeseen, calamitous blunder  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) I walk away from him. It’s enormously pleasing to me, this walking away. It’s like being able to make people appear and vanish, at will  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) And yet it disturbs me to learn I have hurt someone unintentionally. I want all my hurts to be intentional  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) No mother is ever, completely, a child’s idea of what a mother should be, and I suppose it works the other way around as well. But despite everything, we didn’t do too badly by one another, we did as well as most  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) After everything that’s happened, how can the world still be so beautiful? Because it is  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Love is giving, marriage is buying and selling. You can’t put love into a contract  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year’s threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath…  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) There’s the story, then there’s the real story, then there’s the story of how the story came to be told. Then there’s what you leave out of the story. Which is part of the story too  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Time has not stood still. It has washed over me, washed me away, as if I’m nothing more than a woman of sand, left by a careless child too near the water  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) You can’t keep a cool head when you’re drowning in love. You just trash around a lot and scream, and wear yourself out  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) All fathers are invisible in daytime; daytime is ruled by mothers and fathers come out at night. Darkness brings home fathers, with their real, unspeakable power. There is more to fathers than meets the eye  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Oppression involves a failure of the imagination: the failure to imagine the full humanity of other human beings  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) I think the book you always like best is the one you’re about to write  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) The desire to be loved is the last illusion. Give it up and you will be free  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Writing is very improvisational. It’s like trying to fix a broken sewing machine with safety pins and rubber bands. A lot of tinkering  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) I have long since decided if you wait for the perfect time to write, you’ll never write.
