Margaret Atwood
“Love is not a profession
genteel or otherwise

sex is not dentistry
the slick filling of aches and cavities

you are not my doctor
you are not my cure,

nobody has that
power, you are merely a fellow/traveler.”
Margaret Atwood

“People change, though, especially after they are dead.”
Margaret Atwood, Bluebeard's Egg

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

Margaret Atwood
“You can't keep a cool head when you're drowning in love. You just thrash around a lot and scream, and wear yourself out.”
Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride

Margaret Atwood
“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
