Additional quotes by Margaret Atwood

All I can hope for is a reconstruction: the way love feels is always only approximate.

If I am good enough and quiet enough, perhaps after all they will let me go; but it’s not easy being quiet and good, it’s like hanging on to the edge of a bridge when you’ve already fallen over; you don’t seem to be moving, just dangling there, and yet it is taking all your strength.

Time is not a line but a dimension, like the dimensions of space.

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
