Margaret Atwood Quotes About Students

• Todo final es arbitrario, porque el final está donde se escribe El final. Un punto, un punto de puntuación, un punto de estasis. Un pinchazo en el papel: podrías poner el ojo en él y ver a través, al otro lado, al principio de otra cosa. O, como dice Tony a sus alumnos, el Tiempo no es un sólido, como la madera, sino un fluido, como el agua o el viento. No viene cortado limpiamente en longitudes uniformes, en décadas y siglos. Sin embargo, para nuestros propósitos tenemos que fingir que sí. El final de cualquier historia es una mentira en la que todos estamos de acuerdo en conspirar.

• In his student days, he used to argue that if a woman has no other course open to her but starvation, prostitution, or throwing herself from a bridge, then surely the prostitute, who has shown the most tenacious instinct for self-preservation, should be considered stronger and saner than her frailer and no longer living sisters. One couldn't have it both ways, he'd pointed out: if women are seduced and abandoned they're supposed to go mad, but if they survive, and seduce in their turn, then they were mad to begin with.

• I enjoyed teaching. I liked the students. Having to formulate my ideas about literature made them clearer. I did not particularly enjoy the more bureaucratic aspects of the job. However, if you are teaching fervently, your energy and time are used up at a great rate.

• I was once a graduate student in Victorian literature, and I believe as the Victorian novelists did, that a novel isn't simply a vehicle for private expression, but that it also exists for social examination. I firmly believe this.

• Es muy difícil que los estudiantes no estén endeudados, a menos que tengan grandes becas o padres ricos. Y eso se llama invertir en tu futuro, pero como cualquier inversión es arriesgada porque tu futuro es una incógnita. Sin embargo, si no inviertes en tu futuro, puedes estar haciendo hamburguesas el resto de tu vida. Así que es un verdadero dilema.
