Additional quotes by Margaret Atwood

But in the end, back she comes. There's no use resisting. She goes to him for amnesia, for oblivion. She renders herself up, is blotted out; enters the darkness of her own body, forgets her name. Immolation is what she wants, however briefly. To exist without boundaries.

I want everything back, the way it was. But there is no point to it, this wanting.

It's the end of the world every day, for someone.
