More quotes by Margaret Atwood
The fact is that blank pages inspire me with terror. What will I put on them? Will it be good enough? Will I have to throw it out?
Margaret Atwood
I think every age lives in a blend of technology so there's always older ones mixed in with newer ones, and when the new technology goes down, the immediate fallback position is either that technology just before that or one several technologies back.
Margaret Atwood
Sons branch out, but one woman leads to another.
Margaret Atwood
She knows herself to be at the mercy of events, and she knows by now that events have no mercy.
Margaret Atwood
I always thought eating was a ridiculous activity anyway. I'd get out of it myself if I could, though you've got to do it to stay alive, they tell me.
Margaret Atwood

Margaret Atwood
Screw poetry, it’s you I want, your taste, rain on you, mouth on your skin.
Margaret Atwood
I was born in the Ottawa General Hospital right after the Gray Cup Football Game in 1939. Six months later, I was backpacked into the Quebec bush. I grew up in and out of the bush, in and out of Ottawa, Sault Ste. Marie and Toronto.
Margaret Atwood
I suppose these deadlines we set for ourselves are really a way of saying we appreciate time, and want to use all of it.
Margaret Atwood
Do back exercises. Pain is distracting.
Margaret Atwood
Farewells can be shattering, but returns are surely worse. Solid flesh can never live up to the bright shadow cast by its absence. Time and distance blur the edges then suddenly the beloved has arrived, and it's noon with its merciless light, and every spot and pore and wrinkle and bristle stands clear.
Margaret Atwood
I grew up with the biologists. I know how they think.
Margaret Atwood
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
The act of making a photograph is less a question of what is being looked at than how.
Margaret Atwood
Our heaven is their hell, said God. I like a balanced universe.
