More quotes by Margaret Atwood
About no subject are poets tempted to lie so much as about their own lives.
Margaret Atwood
We are a society dying, said Aunt Lydia, of too much choice.
Margaret Atwood
Time is compressed like the fist I close on my knee... I hold inside it the clues and solutions and the power for what I must do now.
Margaret Atwood

Margaret Atwood
Maybe the life I think I'm living is a paranoid delusion...Sanity is a valuable possession I hoard it the way people once hoarded money. I save it, so I will have enough, when the time comes.
Margaret Atwood

Margaret Atwood
Gravity works in your life, the notion of free will works in your life, however problematic it may at times be.
Margaret Atwood
So this was the rest of his life. It felt like a party to which he'd been invited, but at an address he couldn't actually locate. Someone must be having fun at it, this life of his only, right at the moment, it wasn't him.
Margaret Atwood
I didn't much like it, this grudge-holding against the past.
Margaret Atwood
All you have to do, I tell myself, is keep your mouth shut and look stupid. It shouldn't be that hard.
Margaret Atwood
All observations of life are harsh, because life is. I lament that fact, but I cannot change it.
Margaret Atwood
If I waited for perfection... I would never write a word.
Margaret Atwood
We slept in what had once been the gymnasium.
Margaret Atwood
The objects I chose were designed to hold something, but I didn't fill them up. They remained empty. They were little symbolic shrines to thirst.
Margaret Atwood
