Margaret Atwood
“I am like a room where things once happened and now nothing does, except the pollen of the weeds that grow up outside the window. blowing in as dust across the floor.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

Kate Chopin
“One of these days," she said, "I am going to pull myself together for a while and think - try to determine what character of a woman I am; for, candidly, I don't know.”
Kate Chopin, The Awakening
