Book cover for The Testaments (The Handmaid's Tale, #2)
that we all have some nostalgia for whatever kindness we have known as children, however bizarre the conditions of that childhood may seem to others.

Margaret Atwood
“You’ll be looking to make a niche for yourself in whatever dim, echoing caverns of academia may still exist by your time. I situate you at your desk, your hair tucked back behind your ears, your nail polish chipped—for nail polish will have returned, it always does. You’re frowning slightly, a habit that will increase as you age. I hover behind you, peering over your shoulder: your muse, your unseen inspiration, urging you on. You’ll labour over this manuscript of mine, reading and rereading, picking nits as you go, developing the fascinated but also bored hatred biographers so often come to feel for their subjects.”
Margaret Atwood, The Testaments

“men had a thing about hair, it made them spin out of control, they said. And my hair was particularly inflammatory because it was greenish.”

“Keep steady, I told myself. Don’t share too much about yourself, it will be used against you. Listen carefully. Save all clues. Don’t show fear.”
Margaret Atwood, The Testaments

“Когато си на дъното на пъкъла,
когато си най-тъжен, най-злочест,
от парещите въглени на мъката
си направи сам стълба и излез.

Когато от безпътица премазан си
и си зазидан в четири стени,
от всички свои пътища прерязани
нов път си направи и пак тръгни.

Светът когато мръкне пред очите ти
и притъмнява в тези две очи,
сам слънце си създай и от лъчите му
с последния до него се качи.

Трънлив и сляп е на живота ребусът,
на кръст разпъва нашите души.
Загубил всичко, не загубвай себе си –
единствено така ще го решиш!”
Дамян Дамянов

“It’s better that way, and I am a great proponent of better. In the absence of best.”
Margaret Atwood, The Testaments
