Additional quotes by Margaret Atwood

I knew what love was supposed to be: obsession with undertones of nausea.

Moira was like an elevator with open sides. She made us dizzy.

She has been condemned to death by hanging. A man may escape this death by becoming the hangman, a woman by marrying the hangman. But at the present time there is no hangman; thus there is no escape. There is only a death, indefinitely postponed. This is not fantasy, it is history.
