Quote by Margaret Atwood

“You'll be interested to know that the rewriting of history is still being attempted, especially in the United States. I'm not surprised. The way they tried to paper over slavery, and then the Jim Crow laws... you can't have those kinds of inequities in a democracy. If indeed that country is one, or ever was.”

“We humans...we're all tangled balls of contradictions and potential. In my experience, if you want a hope of untangling yourself and finding the right path, you can't go around confusing it all with lies. I have no doubt you are capable of much more than you could ever imagine, young lady. But you won't get far without being honest about yourself and with others. Yes, the truth hurts, I can certainly attest to that. But lies leave far worse wounds, often invisible ones, and they will never heal unless you bring them out into the light. There are too many other, more worthy struggles in life you should commit your energies to instead of wasting them on lies.”

“Je crois que c'est toi qui ment. Tu prétends que tu m'aimes et que tu me fais confiance, mais à la seconde où cette confiance, cet amour, sont mis à l'épreuve, tout ça part en fumée. Alors Tobias, c'est toi qui devait me mentir en me disant tout ça. C'est toi car je ne veux pas croire que ce prétendu amour soit si fragile. Je suis toujours celle qui aurait préféré mourir plutôt que te tuer. Je suis exactement celle que tu crois. Et je sais que cette information va tout changer. Elle va changer tout ce qu'on a fait et tout ces qu'on s'apprête à faire." - Tris à Tobias, Divergente (T2- L'insurrection),”
