Maybe none of this is about control. Maybe it really isn't … - Margaret Atwood

" "
Maybe none of this is about control. Maybe it really isn't about who can own whom, who can do what to whom and get away with it, even as far as death. Maybe it isn't about who can sit and who has to kneel or stand or lie down, legs spread open. Maybe it's about who can do what to whom and be forgiven for it. Never tell me it amounts to the same thing.

Additional quotes by Margaret Atwood

"When any civilization is dust and ashes," he said, "art is all that's left over. Images, words, music. Imaginative structures. Meaning — human meaning, that is — is defined by them. You have to admit that."

The best way of keeping a secret is to pretend there isn't one.
