Margaret Atwood (née Killam)
gptkbp:quote “ The future is not a gift. It is an achievement.”
“ We still think of a powerful man as a born leader and a powerful woman as an anomaly.”
“ A word after a word after a word is power.”
“ War is what happens when language fails.”
“ The best way to keep your word is not to give it.”
“ You can’t take it with you, but you can leave it behind.”
“ There is nothing more dangerous than a frightened woman.”
“ You can’t be afraid of what people will say, because you’re never going to make everyone happy.”
“ If I waited for inspiration every time I sat down to write, I probably would be a house painter.”
“ A word is a thing, a thing is a word.”
