This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year's threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath.

Margaret Atwood 838 quotes

Everyone thinks writers must ...

Everyone thinks writers must know more about the inside of the human head, but that's wrong. They know less, that's why they write. Trying to find out what everyone else takes for granted.

It is better to hope than to mope!

Margaret Atwood 838 quotes

There's something to be said ...

There's something to be said for hunger: at least it lets you know you're still alive.

Margaret Atwood 838 quotes

There's the story, then there...

There's the story, then there's the real story, then there's the story of how the story came to be told. Then there's what you leave out of the story. Which is part of the story too.

Margaret Atwood 838 quotes

Water does not resist. Water ...

Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.

If we were all on trial for our thoughts, we would all be hanged.

Without the light, no chance; without the dark, no dance.

I think calling it climate change is rather limiting. I would rather call it the everything change.

Show me a character totally without anxieties and I will show you a boring book.

But who can remember pain, on...

But who can remember pain, once it’s over? All that remains of it is a shadow, not in the mind even, in the flesh. Pain marks you, but too deep to see. Out of sight, out of mind.

As William Gibson says, the f...

As William Gibson says, the future is already here but it's lumpy. It's unevenly distributed. Some people are already living this, the ones on low-lying islands off the coast of India are being swept away, you know, it's already happening to some people. We happen to be very lucky so far.

We understand more than we know.

So much better to travel than to arrive.

Don’t sit down in the middle ...

Don’t sit down in the middle of the woods. If you’re lost in the plot or blocked, retrace your steps to where you went wrong. Then take the other road. And/or change the person. Change the tense. Change the opening page.

Margaret Atwood 838 quotes

You can never read your own b...

You can never read your own book with the innocent anticipation that comes with that first delicious page of a new book, because you wrote the thing. You've been backstage. You've seen how the rabbits were smuggled into the hat. Therefore ask a reading friend or two to look at it before you give it to anyone in the publishing business. This friend should not be someone with whom you have a ­romantic relationship, unless you want to break up.

Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.
