The cemetery has ... an inscription: ‘Though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death I will Fear No Evil, For Thou Art With Me.’ Yes, it does feel deceptively safer with two; but Thou is a slippery character. Every Thou I’ve known has had a way of going missing. (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
A ratio of failures is built into the process of writing. The wastebasket has evolved for a reason. Think of it as the altar of the Muse Oblivion, to whom you sacrifice your botched first drafts, the tokens of your human imperfection. (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Write down the thoughts and even more, write down a specific line. If you don’t, it’ll fly away forever. (Margaret Atwood Quotes)

Setting fire to the roofs, getting away with the loot, suiting herself. She studied modern philosophy, read Sartre on the side, smoked Gitanes, and cultivated a look of bored contempt. But inwardly, she was seething with unfocused excitement, and looking for someone to worship. (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
The thing about delirium is you think it’s great, but it actually isn’t (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
When we’re young, we like happy endings. When we’re a little older, we think happy endings are unrealistic and so we prefer bad but credible endings. When we’re older still, we realize happy endings aren’t so bad after all. (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
All you have to do, I tell myself, is keep your mouth shut and look stupid. It shouldn’t be that hard. (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Karen wasn’t hard, she was soft, too soft. A soft touch. Her hair was soft, her smile was soft, her voice was soft. She was so soft there was no resistance. Hard things sank into her, they went right through her, and if she made a real effort, out the other side. Then she didn’t have to see them or hear them, or even touch them. (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
I don't think the relationship between novels and realities are one to one. Of course novels play different roles. It's essentially just a long narrative form. What you use that long narrative form for can be very different (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
I hope that people will finally come to realize that there is only one 'race' - the human race - and that we are all members of it (Margaret Atwood Quotes)

The Eskimos had fifty-two names for snow because it was important to them: there ought to be as many for love (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)
A ratio of failures is built into the process of writing. The wastebasket has evolved for a reason (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
A voice is a human gift; it should be cherished and used, to utter fully human speech as possible. Powerlessness and silence go together (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Because I am a mother, I am capable of being shocked: as I never was when I was not one (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
If the national mental illness of the United States is megalomania, that of Canada is paranoid schizophrenia (Margaret Atwood Quotes)
Myths can't be translated as they did in their ancient soil. We can only find our own meaning in our own time (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)
