Margaret Atwood quote: "If I love you, is that a fact or a weapon?"
If I love you, is that a fact or a weapon? Margaret Atwood
Falling in love, although it resulted in altered body chemistry and was therefore real, was a hormonally induced delusional state, according to him. In addition it was humiliating, because it put you at a disadvantage, it gave the love object too much power. As for sex per se, it lacked both challenge and novelty, and was on the whole a deeply imperfect solution to the problem of intergenerational genetic transfer. Margaret Atwood
We love each other, that’s true whatever it means, but we aren’t good at it; for some it’s a talent, for others only an addiction. Margaret Atwood
Margaret Atwood quote: "She had no images of this love. She could offer no anecdotes...."
She had no images of this love. She could offer no anecdotes. It was a belief rather than a memory. Margaret Atwood
Margaret Atwood quote: "How could I be sleeping with this particular man.... Surely..."
How could I be sleeping with this particular man.... Surely only true love could justify my lack of taste. Margaret Atwood
Margaret Atwood quote: "All I can hope for is a reconstruction: the way love feels is..."
All I can hope for is a reconstruction: the way love feels is always only approximate. Margaret Atwood
Margaret Atwood quote: "The young habitually mistake lust for love, they're infested..."
The young habitually mistake lust for love, they're infested with idealism of all kinds. Margaret Atwood
What restless woman can resist a man with a shovel in one hand and a glowing rose bush in the other, and a moderately crazed glitter in his eyes that might be mistaken for love? Margaret Atwood
The way love feels is always only approximate. I would like to be without shame. I would like to be shameless. I would like to be ignorant. Then I would not know how ignorant I was. Margaret Atwood
Ah men, why do you want all this attention? I can write poems for myself, make love to a doorknob if absolutely necessary. What do you have to offer me I can't find otherwise except humiliation? Which I no longer need. Margaret Atwood
Margaret Atwood quote: "Neither of us says the word love, not once. It would be..."
Neither of us says the word love, not once. It would be tempting fate; it would be romance, bad luck. Margaret Atwood
...how much needless despair has been caused by a series of biological mismatches, a misalignment of the hormones and pheromones? Resulting in the fact that the one you love so passionately won't or can't love you. As a species we're pathetic that way: imperfectly monogamous. Margaret Atwood
She said love was useless, because it led you into dumb exchanges in which you gave too much away, and then you got bitter and mean. Margaret Atwood
Margaret Atwood quote: "The Eskimo has fifty-names for snow because it is important to..."
The Eskimo has fifty-names for snow because it is important to them; there ought to be as many for love. Margaret Atwood
If I thought this would never happen again I would die. But this is wrong, nobody dies from lack of sex. It's lack of love we die from. Margaret Atwood
