Margaret Atwood

Margaret Atwood
Short forms are returning online. Interactivity is coming back it was always there in oral storytelling.
Margaret Atwood
My brother and I were both good at science, and we were both good at English literature. Either one of us could have gone either way.
Margaret Atwood
Blondes are like white mice, you only find them in cages. They wouldn’t last long in nature. They’re too conspicuous.
Margaret Atwood
You're never going to kill storytelling, because it's built into the human plan. We come with it.
Margaret Atwood
But people will do anything rather than admit that their lives have no meaning. No use, that is. No plot.
Margaret Atwood
I am not your justification for existence.
Margaret Atwood
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.
Margaret Atwood
