Margaret Atwood Quotes
It's A Good Excuse, Though, Orphanhood. It Explains Everything - Every Mistake And Wrong Turn. As Sherlock Holmes Declared. She Had No Mother To Advise Her. How We Long For It, That Lack Of Advice! Imprudence Could Have Been Ours. Passionate Affairs. Reckless Adventures. Of Course We're Grateful For Our Stable Upbringings, Our Hordes Of Informative Relatives, Our Fleece-lined Advantages, Our Lack Of Dramatic Plots. But There's A Corner Of Envy In Us All The Same. Why Doesn't Anything Of Interest Happen To Us, Coddled As We Are? Why Do The Orphans Get All The Good Lines?
