Brides

“When you are in the middle of a story it isn't a story at all, but only a confusion; a dark roaring, a blindness, a wreckage of shattered glass and splintered wood; like a house in a whirlwind, or else a boat crushed by the icebergs or swept over the rapids, and all aboard powerless to stop it. It's only afterwards that it becomes anything like a story at all. When you are telling it, to yourself or to someone else.”
― Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace

“War is what happens when language fails.”
― Margaret Atwood

“A prison does not only lock its inmates inside, it keeps all others out. Her strongest prison is of her own construction.”
― Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace

“You don’t forget the face of the person who was your last hope.”
― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games
