Margaret Atwood Quotes

You Cynical Shit," He Told Himself. Then He Started To Weep.
"Don't Be So Fucking Sentimental," Crake Used To Tell Him. But Why Not? Why Shouldn't He Be Sentimental? It Wasn't As If There Was Anyone Around To Question His Taste.
Once In A While He Considered Killing Himself-it Seemed Mandatory-but Somehow He Didn't Have The Required Energy. Anyway, Killing Yourself Was Something You Did For An Audience, As On Nitee-nitee.

You Have A Job To Do! You Promised, Remember?
Perhaps He Failed To Take Seriously His Own Despair.
