4 Quotes by Margaret Atwood about escape

  • Author Margaret Atwood
  • Quote

    I intend to get out of here. It can’t last forever. Others have thought such things, in bad times before this, and they were always right, they did get out one way or another, and it didn’t last forever. Although for them it may have lasted all the forever they had.
