Mimi

“though the real question is
whether or not I will make you immortal.”
― Margaret Atwood, Selected Poems 1: 1965-1975

“Though I knew how this failure would hurt you, I had to fold like a grey moth and let go.

You could not believe I was more than your echo.”
― Margaret Atwood, Interlunar

“nothing is more opaque than absolute transparency. Look--my feet don't hit the marble! Like breath or a balloon, I'm rising, I hover six inches in the air in my blazing swan-egg of light. You think I'm not a goddess? Try me. This is a torch song. Touch me and you'll burn.”
― Margaret Atwood

“A lot of people call you a feminist painter."
"What indeed," I say. "I hate party lines, I hate ghettos. Anyway. I'm too old to have invented it and you're too young to understand it, so what's the point of discussing it at all?”
― Margaret Atwood
