       BOOK STARTERS VOL.38        CAT’S EYE       MARGARET ATWOOD

1. ❛ Love blurs your vision; but after it recedes, you can see more clearly than ever. ❜
   
2. ❛ This is the kind of thing you see if you sit in the darkness with open eyes. ❜
   
3. ❛ I have done something wrong, something so huge I can’t even see it, something that’s drowning me. ❜
   
4. ❛ Whatever is happening to me is my own fault. ❜
   
5. ❛ Hatred is easier. Hatred is clear, metallic, one-handed, unwavering; unlike love. ❜
   
6. ❛ Potential has a shelf life. ❜
   
7. ❛ Don’t move. Stay like that, let me have that. ❜
   
8. ❛ I have come to the edge, of the land. I could get pushed over. ❜
   
9. ❛ Never pray for justice, because you might get some. ❜
   
10. ❛ It disturbs me to learn I have hurt someone unintentionally. I want all my hurts to be intentional. ❜
    
11. ❛ We have been shark to one another, but also lifeboat. That counts for something. ❜
    
12. ❛ This is what I miss, not something that’s gone, but something that will never happen. ❜
    
13. ❛ I am not good. I know too much to be good. I know myself. I know myself to be vengeful, greedy, secretive and sly. ❜
    
14. ❛ You are amazing. Amazing and agonising and almost lethal. ❜
    
15. ❛ In my dreams of this city I am always lost. ❜
    
16. ❛ I don’t know where these feelings have come from, I don’t know what I’ve done. ❜
    
17. ❛ I am not the centre of your story, you are.  ❜
    
18. ❛ I’m mad because you’re an asshole. ❜
    
19. ❛ It’s enormously pleasing to me, walking away. It’s like being able to make people appear and vanish, at will. ❜
    
20. ❛ There is never only one of anyone. ❜
    
21. ❛ I can’t do this without feeling I’m acting. ❜
    
22. ❛ I am prepared for almost anything; except absence, except silence. ❜
    
23. ❛ I’m losing my appetite for strangers. ❜
    
24. ❛ You wear your cravings on the outside, like the suckers on a squid. You want it all. ❜
    
25. ❛ Knowing too much about other people weakens you. You are forced to understand their reasons for doing things. ❜
    
26. ❛ I have lost confidence: perhaps all I will ever be is what I am now. ❜
    
27. ❛ Echoes of light, shining out of the midst of nothing. It’s old light, and there’s not much of it. But it’s enough to see by. ❜
    
28. ❛ Whoever cares the most will lose. ❜
    
29. ❛ Young women need unfairness, it’s one of their few defences.  ❜
    
30. ❛ Time has gone on without you. ❜
