Margaret Atwood Quotes
Acting Up, A Peculiar Phrase. It's What People Say To Minimize The Gravity Of Their Condition. It Implies That The Offending Part (heart, Stomach, Liver, Whatever) Is A Fractious, Bratty Child, Which Can Be Brought Into Line With A Slap Or A Sharp Word. At The Same Time, That These Symptoms
these Tremors And Pains, These Palpitations
are Mere Theatrics, And That The Organ In Question Will Soon Stop Capering About And Making A Spectacle Of Itself, And Resume Its Placid, Off-stage Existence.
