Margaret Atwood

I was recently looking through my old notes on Facebook and found some quotes that I had posted that make me think that younger Jessie and I aren't as different as me or some others might think:

"Of course I had inklings, about his slipperiness, his wiliness, his foxiness - how can I put this? - his unscrupulousness, but I turned a blind eye. I kept my mouth shut; or, if I opened it, I sang his praises. I didn't contradict, I didn't ask awkward questions, I didn't dig deep. I wanted happy endings in those days, and happy endings are best achieved by keeping the right door locked and going to sleep during the rampages." ~ Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad
