“Better never means better for everyone... It always means worse, for some.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

― Margaret Atwood, Cat's Eye

“She imagines him imagining her. This is her salvation.
In spirit she walks the city, traces its labyrinths, its dingy mazes: each assignation, each rendezvous, each door and stair and bed. What he said, what she said, what they did, what they did then.

But how else can we live, these days, except in the midst of ruin?”
― Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin

“I wanted to forget the past, but it refused to forget me; it waited for sleep, then cornered me.”
― Margaret Atwood, Lady Oracle
