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

““A truth should exist,”

“There were a lot of gods. Gods always come in handy, they justify almost anything.”

“The reason they invented coffins, to lock the dead in, preserve them, they put makeup on them; they didn't want them spreading or changing into anything else. The stone with the name and date was on them to weight them down.”

“Neither of us says the word love, not once. It would be tempting fate; it would be romance, bad luck.”

“A Paradox, the doughnut hole. Empty space, once, but now they've learned to market even that. A minus quantity; nothing, rendered edible. I wondered if they might be used-metaphorically, of course-to demonstrate the existence of God. Does naming a sphere of nothingness transmute it into being?”

“I'm not senile," I snapped. "If I burn the house down it will be on purpose.”

“Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again”

“But everyone knows someone who has died, I said.”

“Memories are of the ethereal, and not the material world, that is how I know I am forever.”

“To find the right person, you must first BE the right person.”

“In your pursuit of perfection you miss the charm in your flaws.”

“If you do not have control over your mouth, you will not have control over your future.”
