“I wish this story were different. I wish it were more civilized. I wish it showed me in a better light, if not happier, than at least more active, less hesitant, less distracted by trivia. I wish it had more shape. I wish t were about love, or about sudden realizations important to one’s life, or even about sunsets, birds, rainstorms, or snow. I’m sorry there is so much pain in this story. I’m sorry it’s in fragments, like a body caught in crossfire or pulled apart by force. But there is nothing I can do to change it.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

“September first will be labour day, they still have that. Though it didn't used to have anything to do with mothers.”

“I want you to kiss me, said the Commander.

― Margaret Atwood

“So there it was, out in the open: his wife didn't understand him.
That's what I was there for then. The same old thing. It was too banal to be true.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale
