“When power is scarce, a little of it is tempting.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

“You are a transitional generation, said Aunt Lydia. It is the hardest for you. We know the sacrifices you are being expected to make. It is hard when men revile you. For the ones who come after you, it will be easier. They will accept their duties with willing hearts.
She did not say: Because they will have no memories, of any other way.
She said: Because they won't want things they can't have.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

“Knowing was a temptation. What you don't know won't tempt you.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

“A man is just a woman's strategy for making other women. Not that your father wasn't a nice guy and all, but... there's something missing in them, even the nice ones. It's like they're permanently absent-minded, like they can't quite remember who they are. They look at the sky too much. They lose touch with their feet. They aren't a patch on a woman except they're better at fixing cars and playing football, just what we need for the improvement of the human race, right?”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale
