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.”
