More quotes by Margaret Atwood
Science fiction is filled with Martians and space travel to other planets, and things like that.
Margaret Atwood
There's something final about saying you were married once. It's like saying you were dead once. It shuts them up.
Margaret Atwood
I write as if I've lived a lot of things I haven't lived.
Margaret Atwood
The problem with meditating is I generally go to sleep, and that's because I'm doing it wrong.
Margaret Atwood
These things you did were like prayers you did them and you hoped they would save you. And for the most part they did. Or something did you could tell by the fact that you were still alive.
Margaret Atwood

Margaret Atwood

Margaret Atwood
Love is giving, marriage is buying and selling. You can't put love into a contract.
Margaret Atwood
I would like to believe this is a story I’m telling. I need to believe it. I must believe it. Those who can believe that such stories are only stories have a better chance. If it’s a story I’m telling, then I have control over the ending. Then there will be an ending, to the story, and real life will come after it. I can pick up where I left off.
Margaret Atwood
I could end this with a moral, as if this were a fable about animals, though no fables are really about animals.
Margaret Atwood
Why aren't we investing more in alternate tech? The Saudi Arabians are, Scottish Power is. I was just there. Could it be that we're counting on the oil going on forever and ever and ever and us having all of it and getting very rich?
Margaret Atwood
I didn't much like it, this grudge-holding against the past.
Margaret Atwood
I myself have 12 hats and each one represents a different personality. Why just be yourself.
Margaret Atwood
What am I living for and what am I dying for are the same question.
Margaret Atwood
He needed to exist only in the present, without guilt, without expectation.
Margaret Atwood
