More quotes by Margaret Atwood

"So much for endings. Beginnings are always more fun. True connoisseurs, however, are known to favor the stretch in between, since it's the hardest to do anything with. That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what."
"War is what happens when language fails."
"I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary."
"A truth should exist,it should not be usedlike this. If I love youis that a fact or a weapon?"
"Maybe I don't really want to know what's going on. Maybe I'd rather not know. Maybe I couldn't bear to know. The Fall was a fall from innocence to knowledge."
