“And time is a curious thing. Most of us only live for the time that lies right ahead of us. A few days, weeks, years.

And when time no longer lies ahead of one, other things have to be lived for. Memories, perhaps.”

― Margaret Atwood, Cat’s Eye

“But a chair, sunlight, flowers: these are not to be dismissed. I am alive, I live, I breathe, I put my hand out, unfolded, into the sunlight.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale
