Truth Quote by Margaret Atwood — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Nobody dies from the lack of sex. It's lack of love we die from.”

“The truth is seldom welcome, especially at dinner.”

“They didn't realize that her clumsiness was not the ordinary kind, not poor coordination. It was just because she wasn't sure where the edges of her body ended and the rest of the world began.”

“If you really want to stay the same age you are now forever and ever, she'd be thinking, try jumping off the roof: death's a sure-fire method for stopping time.”

“She talks with wolves, without knowing what sort of beasts they are:”

“All you have to do, I tell myself, is keep your mouth shut and look stupid. It shouldn't be that hard.”

“There are few things in life worse than a long-winded lawyer.”

“I see the Christian world like this: we've inherited a divided map of the truth, and each of us has a piece. Our traditions teach us that no one else has a valid map and that our own church's piece shows us all the terrain and roads that exist.

“It is when you lose sight of yourself, that you lose your way. To keep your truth in sight you must keep yourself in sight and the world to you should be a mirror to reflect to you your image; the world should be a mirror that you reflect upon.”

“Another form of bargaining, which many people do, and she did too, is to replay the final painful moments over and over in her head as if by doing so she could eventually create a different outcome.”

“Find me in words”
