Margaret Atwood
“No reply is in itself a reply.”
Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace

Margaret Atwood
“the real curse of Eve was having to put up with the nonsense of Adam, who as soon as there was any trouble, blamed it all on her.”
Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace

Audre Lorde
“The principal horror of any system which defines the good in terms of profit rather than in terms of human need, or which defines human need to the exclusion of the psychic and emotional components of that need—the principal horror of such a system is that it robs our work of its erotic value, its erotic power and life appeal and fulfillment.”
Audre Lorde, Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power

Margaret Atwood
“A woman like me is always a temptation, if possible to arrange it unobserved; as whatever we may say about it later, we will not be believed.”
Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace

Margaret Atwood
“After a time he thought he knew. It was knowledge they craved; yet they could not admit to craving it, because it was forbidden knowledge — knowledge with a lurid glare to it; knowledge gained through a descent into the pit. He has been where they could never go, seen what they could never see; he has opened up women’s bodies, and peered inside. In his hand, which has just raised their own hands towards his lips, he may once have held a beating female heart.
Thus he is one of the dark trio — the doctor, the judge, the executioner — and shares with them the powers of life and death. To be rendered unconscious; to lie exposed, without shame, at the mercy of others; to be touched, incised, plundered, remade — this is what they are thinking of when they look at him, with their widening eyes and slightly parted lips.”
Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace
