About
Margaret Atwood
Margaret Eleanor Atwood (born 18 November 1939) is a Canadian novelist, poet, and literary critic.
I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary.
What fabrications they are, mothers. Scarecrows, wax dolls for us to stick pins into, crude diagrams. We deny them an existence of their own, we make them up to suit ourselves — our own hungers, our own wishes, our own deficiencies.
Whatever is silenced will clamor to be heard, though silently.
