I wait. I compose myself. My self is a thing I must now compose, as one composes a speech. What I must present is a made thing, not something born.

- Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

I avoid looking down at my body, not as much because it's shameful or immodest but because I don't want to see it. I don't want to look at something that determines me so completely.

- Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale
