“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad

“I am an unspeakable of the Oscar Wilde sort.”
― E.M. Forster, Maurice

“The gap between the poetry she wrote and the poetry she contained was, for Natalie, something unsolvable”

“I would like to say my hair turned white
overnight, but it didn’t.
Instead it was my heart;
bleached out like meat in water.”
― Margaret Atwood
