Additional quotes by Margaret Atwood

"Instead I will say, "Take me to your trees. Take me to your breakfasts, your sunsets, your bad dreams, your shoes, your nouns. Take me to your fingers; take me to your deaths." These are worth it. These are what I have come for."

Try me.
This is a torch song.
Touch me and you'll burn.
