Additional quotes by Margaret Atwood

There were a lot of gods. Gods always come in handy, they justify almost anything.

You can mean more than one.
You can mean thousands.
I'm not in any immediate danger, I'll say to you.
I'll pretend you can hear me.
But it's no good, because I know you can't.

To want is to have a weakness.

But a chair, sunlight, flowers: these are not to be dismissed. I am alive, I live, I breathe, I put my hand out, unfolded, into the sunlight. - Margaret Atwood
