“The only way you can write the truth is to assume that what you set down will never be read. Not by any other person, and not even by yourself at some later date.

― Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin

“Only a fool learns from his own mistakes. The wise man learns from the mistakes of others.”

“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”
― Margaret Atwood

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”
