Margaret Atwood Quotes About Voting

• The object is very clear in the fight against racism; you have reasons why you're opposed to it. But when you're writing a novel, you don't want the reader to come out of it voting yes or no to some question. Life is more complicated than that.

  Interview with Marilyn Berlin Snell, www.motherjones.com. July/August 1997.

• Como artista, tu primera lealtad es hacia tu arte. Si no es así, serás un artista de segunda. No quiero decir que nunca haya solapamientos. Aprendes cosas en un área y las llevas a otra. Pero no es lo mismo dar un discurso contra el racismo que escribir una novela. El objetivo es muy claro en la lucha contra el racismo; tienes razones por las que te opones a él. Pero cuando escribes una novela, no quieres que el lector salga de ella votando sí o no a alguna pregunta. La vida es más complicada que eso. La realidad consiste simplemente en diferentes puntos de vista.

• In the early fight for women's rights, the point was not that women were morally superior or better. The conversation was about the difference between men and women - power, privilege, voting rights, etc. Unfortunately, it quickly moved to the "women are better" argument. If this were true in life or in fiction, we wouldn't have any dark or deep characters. We wouldn't have any Salomes, Carmens, Ophelias. We wouldn't have any jealousy or passion.
