Margaret Atwood
And yet it disturbs me to learn I have hurt someone unintentionally. I want all my hurts to be intentional.
Margaret Atwood
Each form has its pluses and its minuses.
Margaret Atwood
When women let their hair down, it means either sexiness or craziness or death, the three by Victorian times having become virtually synonymous.
Margaret Atwood
I began to forget myself in the middle of sentences.
Margaret Atwood
For the children with their greedy little mouths represent the future, which like time itself will devour all now alive.
