You're sad because you're sad. It's psychic. It's the age. It's chemical. Go see a shrink or take a pill, or hug your sadness like an eyeless doll you need to sleep. Well, all children are sad but some get over it. Count your blessings. Better than that, buy a hat. Buy a coat or a pet. Take up dancing to forget.
Margaret AtwoodTruly amazing, what people can get used to, as long as there are a few compensations.
Margaret AtwoodI planned my death carefully, unlike my life, which meandered along from one thing to another, despite my feeble attempts to control it.
Margaret AtwoodI have never had any problems with editors who wanted me to change my methods or point of view. I pay a lot of attention to editors, but in a different way. They sometimes catch mistakes and help with the order of poems in a book. I do not underestimate them! Indeed, I have been one myself.
