More quotes by Margaret Atwood
The reader cannot see into your heart. He will know only what you tell him. Make the blind see your words. Make the hard-hearted feel. Make the deaf hear.
Margaret Atwood
Time is not a line but a dimension, like the dimensions of space.
Margaret Atwood
I grew up in the golden age of Flash Gordon and sci-fi.
Margaret Atwood
Truly amazing, what people can get used to, as long as there are a few compensations.
Margaret Atwood
I was delighted with the film [Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth] it almost made me want to be a film-maker!
Margaret Atwood
For me the experience of writing is really an experience of losing control.... I think it's very much like dreaming or like surfing. You go out there and wait for a wave, and when it comes it takes you somewhere and you don't know where it'll go.
Margaret Atwood
We pulled the seeds out and scattered them on their flossy parachutes, leaving only the leathery brownish yellow tongue, soft as the inside of an elbow.
Margaret Atwood
More of your brain is involved when reading than it is when you watch television... because you are supplying just about everything... you're a creator.
Margaret Atwood
It's evening, one of those gray water-color washes, like liquid dust.
Margaret Atwood
You may not be able to alter reality, but you can alter your attitude towards it, and this, paradoxically, alters reality. Try it and see.
Margaret Atwood
We thought we were running away from the grownups, and now we are the grownups.
Margaret Atwood
we lived in the gaps between the stories
Margaret Atwood
The answers you get from literature depend on the questions you pose.
Margaret Atwood
Reading ... changes you. You aren't the same person after you've read a particular book as you were before, and you will read the next book, unless both are Harlequin Romances, in a slightly different way.
Margaret Atwood
The goals of the feminist movement have not been achieved, and those who claim we're living in a post-feminist era are either sadly mistaken or tired of thinking about the whole subject.
Margaret Atwood
I felt white, drained of blood, cared for, purified. Peaceful.
Margaret Atwood
If your not annoying somebody, you're not alive.
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
Happiness is a garden walled with glass: there's no way in or out.
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
