"Perhaps her mind is slipping, perhaps she's going off the tracks, perhaps she is coming unhinged. Unhinged, like a broken door, like a rammed gate, like a rusting strongbox. When you're unhinged, things make their way out of you that should be kept inside and other things get in that ought to be shut out."
~~Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin
Sometimes I feel like that when I find myself revealing things about myself in my posts that I would have difficulty talking about in "real" life.
ReplyDeleteI really like your random quotes. How do you choose them? randomly, I suppose . This one fits me to a T - what does that mean anyway? a T? a tea? whatever - I really can relate. I've never been much into Margaret Atwood. I've tried a couple of her books but they didn't work for me. But this quote? this quote has by name all over it Thanks for posting it.
