Margaret Atwood słynne cytaty

„Mężczyźni, którzy zmieniają nazwiska, to najczęściej oszuści, przestępcy, tajni agenci albo magicy; u kobiet przeważnie oznacza to po prostu zamążpójście.”

Margaret Atwood

„Każdy mit jest jakąś wersją prawdy.”

Margaret Atwood

„Muszę oddać sprawiedliwość lodówkom. Chociaż w pewnym stopniu inspirują marnotrawstwo, to jednocześnie stwarzają złudzenie, że zawsze będzie jakieś jutro, można w nich trzymać rzeczy bez końca. Ci, co mają lodówki, z pewnością widzą życie inaczej, niż ci, co ich nie mają. Czym bank jest dla pieniędzy, tym lodówka dla jedzenia.”

Margaret Atwood

„Dwa zła nie czynią jednego dobra.”

Margaret Atwood

Źródło: Namiot (2006), tłum. Justyna Gardzińska

„Jeśli znajdziesz się w sytuacji, z której nie możesz wyjść z godnością, udawaj, że znalazłeś się w niej z własnego wyboru.”

Margaret Atwood

“Tell, rather than write, because I have nothing to write with and writing is in any case forbidden. But if it’s a story, even in my head, I must be telling it to someone. You don’t tell a story only to yourself. There’s always someone else.
Even when there is no one.”
