Margaret Atwood, the Canadian author who wrote The Handmade's Tale was born on this date in 1939. Here are ten quotes from her.
- Optimism means better than reality; pessimism means worse than reality.
- Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.
- A voice is a human gift; it should be cherished and used, to utter fully human speech as possible. Powerlessness and silence go together.
- Where do the words go when we have said them?
- Stupidity is the same as evil if you judge by the results.
- In the end, we'll all become stories.
- If you're not annoying somebody, you're not alive.
- Better never means better for everyone... It always means worse, for some.
- If I waited for perfection... I would never write a word.
- Reality simply consists of different points of view.
