More quotes by Margaret Atwood
You're never going to kill storytelling, because it's built into the human plan. We come with it.
Margaret Atwood
Though as he'd say, what is 'belief' but a willingness to suspend the negatives?
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
She had no images of this love. She could offer no anecdotes. It was a belief rather than a memory.
Margaret Atwood
Debt is part of the human condition. Civilization is based on exchanges - on gifts, trades, loans - and the revenges and insults that come when they are not paid back.
Margaret Atwood
In Paradise there are no stories, because there are no journeys.
Margaret Atwood
If you want to be a writer, you should go into the largest library you can find and stand there contemplating the books that have been written. Then you should ask yourself, 'Do I really have anything to add?' If you have the arrogance or the humility to say yes, you will know you have the vocation.
Margaret Atwood
Whatever is silenced will clamor to be heard, though silently.
Margaret Atwood
I'm with the spirit of Earth-Day-yet-to-come. Nobody can really predict the future, all you can do is look at trends, and that could change at any moment.
Margaret Atwood
When things are really dismal, you can laugh, or you can cave in completely.
Margaret Atwood
Communications technology changes possibilities for communication, but that doesn't mean it changes the inherited structure of the brain. So you may think that you're addicted to online reading, but as soon as it isn't available anymore, your brain will pretty immediately adjust to other forms of reading. It's a habit like all habits.
Margaret Atwood
I have long since decided if you wait for the perfect time to write, you'll never write. There is no time that isn't flawed somehow.
Margaret Atwood
If you're a woman writer, sometime, somewhere, you will be asked: Do you think of yourself as a writer first, or as a woman first? Look out. Whoever asks this hates and fears both writing and women.
Margaret Atwood
I would rather dance as a ballerina, though faultily, than as a flawless clown.
Margaret Atwood
If he wants to be an asshole, it's a free country. Millions before him have made the same life choice.
Margaret Atwood
I am rather saddened at the end of a book. I think most writers find this. It's like a friend departing on a voyage.
Margaret Atwood
I'm the only person you've ever met who has read Longfellow.
Margaret Atwood
A truth should exist, it should not be used like this. If I love you is that a fact or a weapon?
Margaret Atwood
The problem is huge. We've just added seventy-five million people to the already large proportion of people in the world who are malnourished all the time, whose bodies are being starved.
Margaret Atwood
Your hand is a warm stone I hold between two words.
Margaret Atwood
