You can't keep a cool head when you're drowning in love. You just trash around a lot and scream, and wear yourself out.
Margaret Atwood

The short answer to 'Why do you write' is - I suppose I write for some of the same reasons I read: to live a double life to go places I haven't been to examine life on earth to come to know people in ways, and at depths, that are otherwise impossible to be surprised.

Keep an eye on the weather, which is changing faster than predicted, and on the new diseases escaping or being made, even as we speak. It's a race between new tech and biosphere bankruptcy, I'd say.

As all historians know, the past is a great darkness, and filled with echoes.

Some days I do appreciate things more, eggs, flowers, but then I decide I'm only having an attack of sentimentality, my brain going pastel Technicolor, like a beautiful-sunset greeting cards they used to make so many of in California. High-gloss hearts. The danger is grayout.

Neither of us says the word love, not once. It would be tempting fate it would be romance, bad luck.
Margaret Atwood
Image
You want the truth, of course. You want me to put two and two together. But two and two doesn’t necessarily get you the truth. Two and two equals a voice outside the window. Two and two equals the wind. The living bird is not its labeled bones.

What a moron I was to think you were sweet and innocent, when it turns out you were actually college-educated the whole time!
Margaret Atwood
Image
When we think of the past it's the beautiful things we pick out. We want to believe it was all like that.
Margaret Atwood
Image
Fatigue is here, in my body, in my legs and eyes. That is what gets you in the end. Faith is only a word, embroidered.

In Paradise there are no stories, because there are no journeys.

What you get is no longer what you see.

It's evening, one of those gray water-color washes, like liquid dust.

Why are you so interested in amoebas? Oh, they're immortal, he said, and sort of shapeless and flexible. Being a person is getting too complicated.

Blondes are like white mice, you only find them in cages. They wouldn’t last long in nature. They’re too conspicuous.

You need a certain amount of nerve to be a writer, an almost physical nerve, the kind you need to walk a log across a river.
