Margaret Atwood Quotes

One of the gravestones in the cemetery near the earliest church has an anchor on it and an hourglass, and the words In Hope. In Hope. Why did they put that above a dead person? Was it the corpse hoping, or those still alive?

Margaret Atwood

I’m going crazy and I’m getting out of here.” And they go and hibernate somewhere. Maybe later they re-emerge a little... Walter Isaacson
