Margaret Atwood quote: "Reading and writing are connected. I learned to read very..."
Reading and writing are connected. I learned to read very early so I could read the comics, which I then started to draw. Margaret Atwood
But in the end, back she comes. There's no use resisting. She goes to him for amnesia, for oblivion. She renders herself up, is blotted out; enters the darkness of her own body, forgets her name. Immolation is what she wants, however briefly. To exist without boundaries. Margaret Atwood
