Nature full strength is more than we can take, Adam One used to say. It's a potent hallucinogen, a soporific, for the untrained Soul. We're no longer at home in it. We need to dilute it. We can't drink it straight. And God is the same. Too much God and you overdose. God needs to be filtered.

What a moron I was to think you were sweet and innocent, when it turns out you were actually college-educated the whole time!

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

It had helped to keep her sane...

It had helped to keep her sane, that writing. Then, when time had begun again and real people had entered it, she'd abandoned it here. Now it's a whisper from the past. Is that what writing amounts to? The voice your ghost would have, if it had a voice?

Though as he'd say, what is 'belief' but a willingness to suspend the negatives?

Time is not a thing that passes ... it's a sea on which you float.

The sands of time are quicksands ... so much can sink into them without a trace.

Time is not a line but a dimension, like the dimensions of space.

Time has not stood still. It has washed over me, washed me away, as if I'm nothing more than a woman of sand, left by a careless child too near the water.

You can't keep a cool head when you're drowning in love. You just trash around a lot and scream, and wear yourself out.

Writing poetry is a state of free float.

Margaret Atwood 838 quotes

Hope drives us to invent new f...

Hope drives us to invent new fixes for old messes, which in turn create ever more dangerous messes. Hope elects the politician with the biggest empty promise; and as any stockbroker or lottery seller knows, most of us will take a slim hope over prudent and predictable frugality. Hope, like greed, fuels the engine of capitalism.

Margaret Atwood 838 quotes

All fathers are invisible in daytime; daytime is ruled by mothers and fathers come out at night. Darkness brings home fathers, with their real, unspeakable power. There is more to fathers than meets the eye.

Does feminist mean large unpleasant person who'll shout at you or someone who believes women are human beings. To me it's the latter, so I sign up

Some cleric putting a match to her. /Neither of them looks happy about it. /Once lit, she'll burn like a book, /like a book that was ever finished, /like a locked-up library.
