“Love blurs your vision; but after it recedes, you can see more clearly than ever. It's like the tide going out, revealing whatever's been thrown away and sunk: broken bottles, old gloves, rusting pop cans, nibbled fishbodies, bones. This is the kind of thing you see if you sit in the darkness with open eyes, not knowing the future.”
― Margaret Atwood, Cat's Eye

“A word after a word after a word is power.”
― Margaret Atwood

“Don't let the bastards grind you down.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”
― Margaret Atwood
