“Yet each flower, each twig, each pebble, shines as though illuminated from within, as once before, on her first day in the Garden. It’s the stress, it’s the adrenalin, it’s a chemical effect: she knows this well enough. But why is it built in? she thinks. Why are we designed to see the world as supremely beautiful just as we’re about to be snuffed? Do rabbits feel the same as the fox teeth bite down on their necks? Is it mercy?”
― Margaret Atwood, The Year of the Flood

“Nature may be dumb as a sack of hammers, Zeb used to say, but it's smarter than you.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Year of the Flood

“Unlike some other religions, we have never felt it served a higher purpose to lie to children about geology.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Year of the Flood
