Some people mistakenly think nature is very nice and benevolent and never betrays  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) If you’re put on a pedestal, you’re supposed to behave yourself like a pedestal type of person. Pedestals actually have a limited circumference. Not much room to move around.  (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) By telling you anything at all I’m at least believing in you, I believe you’re there, I believe you into being.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) There is something reassuring about the toilets. Bodily functions at least remain democratic. Everybody shits.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Publishing a book is like stuffing a note into a bottle and hurling it into the sea  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) There’s an epigram tacked to my office bulletin board, pinched from a magazine -- Wanting to meet an author because you like his work is like wanting to meet a duck because you like pâté.  (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) Love is giving, marriage is buying and selling. You can’t put love into a contract.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) There’s a difference between describing and evoking something. You can describe something and be quite clinical about it. To evoke it, you call it up in the reader. That’s what writers do when they’re good.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) But some people can’t tell where it hurts. They can’t calm down. They can’t ever stop howling.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Bless you. Be careful. Anyone intending to meddle with words needs such blessing, such warning.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Forced to chose between one irascible tyrant and another, Laura had chosen the one which was greater, and also further away.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) There I am, in the Grade Six class picture, smiling broadly. Happy as a clam, is what my mother says for happy. I am happy as a clam: hardshelled, firmly closed.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Time is compressed like the fist I close on my knee... I hold inside it the clues and solutions and the power for what I must do now.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Short forms are returning online. Interactivity is coming back; it was always there in oral storytelling.  (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) You’re sad because you’re sad. It’s psychic. It’s the age. It’s chemical. Go see a shrink or take a pill, or hug your sadness like an eyeless doll you need to sleep. Well, all children are sad but some get over it. Count your blessings. Better than that, buy a hat. Buy a coat or a pet. Take up dancing to forget.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) If he wants to be an asshole, it’s a free country. Millions before him have made the same life choice.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) How shrunk, how dwindled, in our times Creation’s mighty seed - For Man has broke the Fellowship With murder, lust, and greed.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) The beginning of Canadian cultural nationalism was not ‘Am I really that oppressed?’ but ‘Am I really that boring?’  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) It isn’t running away they’re afraid of. We wouldn’t get far. It’s those other escapes, the ones you can open in yourself, given a cutting edge.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) When you’re writing a novel, you don’t want the reader to come out of it voting yes or no to some question. Life is more complicated than that. Reality simply consists of different points of view.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) You don’t look back along time but down through it, like water. Sometimes this comes to the surface, sometimes that, sometimes nothing. Nothing goes away.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Every habit he’s ever had is still there in his body, lying dormant like flowers in the desert. Given the right conditions, all his old addictions would burst into full and luxuriant bloom.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Reading and writing are connected. I learned to read very early so I could read the comics, which I then started to draw.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) Never mind. Point being that you don’t have to get too worked up about us, dear educated minds. You don’t have to think of us aas real girls, real flesh and blood, real pain, real injustice. That might be too upsetting. Just discard the sordid part. Consider us pure symbol. We’re no more real than money.  (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) My brother and I were both good at science, and we were both good at English literature. Either one of us could have gone either way.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes) You hear doom and gloom about the Internet ruining young people’s command of English - that’s nonsense.  (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
