Margaret Atwood
“Death is much too high a price to pay for the satisfaction of curiosity, needless to say.”
Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad

Margaret Atwood
“Happy endings are best achieved by keeping the right doors locked”
Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad

“She who weeps when the sun’s in sky, Will never pile the platter high.”
Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad

Margaret Atwood
“More recently, some of us have been able to infiltrate the new ethereal-wave system that now encircles the globe, and to travel around that way, looking out at the world through the flat, illuminated surfaces that serve as domestic shrines. Perhaps that’s how the gods were able to come and go as quickly as they did back then—they must have had something like that at their disposal.”
Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad

Margaret Atwood
“Point being that you don't have to get too worked up about us, dear educated minds. You don't have to think of us as real girls, real flesh and blood, real pain, real injustice. That might be too upsetting. Just discard the sordid part. Consider us pure symbol. We're no more real than money.”
Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad
