More quotes by Margaret Atwood
The idea of the chickens with the multiple breasts and thighs came from an urban legend that some fast-food places had developed chickens with four thighs. It wasn't true, but it is a suggestive rumor.
Margaret Atwood
Tell what is yours to tell. Let others tell what is theirs.
Margaret Atwood
Karen wasn't hard, she was soft, too soft. A soft touch. Her hair was soft, her smile was soft, her voice was soft. She was so soft there was no resistance. Hard things sank into her, they went right through her, and if she made a real effort, out the other side. Then she didn't have to see them or hear them, or even touch them.
Margaret Atwood
Extreme good, extreme evil: the abilities required are similar.
Margaret Atwood
The animals have no need for speech, why talk when you are a word.

If I love you, is that a fact or a weapon?
Margaret Atwood

Margaret Atwood
This has been her problem all her life: picturing other people's responses. She's too good at it. She can picture the response of anyone--other people's reactions, their emotions, their criticisms, their demands--but somehow they don't reciprocate. Maybe they can't. Maybe they lack the gift, if it is one.
Margaret Atwood

Margaret Atwood
But some people can't tell where it hurts. They can't calm down. They can't ever stop howling.
Margaret Atwood
friendship was always contingent.
Margaret Atwood
Anaesthesia, that's one technique: if it hurts, invent a different pain.
Margaret Atwood
Every novel is-at the beginning-the same opening of a door onto a completely unknown space.
Margaret Atwood
Although from you I far must roam, do not be broken hearted. We two, who in the souls are one, are never truly parted.
Margaret Atwood
History, as I recall, was never this winsome, and especially not this clean, but the real thing would never sell: most people prefer a past in which nothing smells.
Margaret Atwood
I grew up in the golden age of Flash Gordon and sci-fi.
Margaret Atwood
I have never had any problems with editors who wanted me to change my methods or point of view. I pay a lot of attention to editors, but in a different way. They sometimes catch mistakes and help with the order of poems in a book. I do not underestimate them! Indeed, I have been one myself.
Margaret Atwood
How easy it is, treachery. You just slide into it.
Margaret Atwood
We slept in what had once been the gymnasium.
