"管事的几个女人把纸巾递给她们,还说了些抚慰的话,诸如:你要坚强。她们是在努力安抚。但别人要你必须坚强——这会造成多么大的压力啊。这是我学到的另一件事。"

"我也是好心,我时常无声地喃喃自语。我一心想要最好的结果,或者说在力所能及的范围内得到最好的结果,但这两种结果并不相同。无论如何,要不是因为有我在,想想局势会坏到什么程度吧。"

"我没有哭。我已经哭够了。真相是他们把克丽丝特尔剖开,把宝宝取出来,她是因此才死的。这不是她的选择。她没有自告奋勇地担当光辉的榜样,或以女性所能及的最崇高的荣耀献出生命,但没有一个人提到这一点。"

— Margaret Atwood, 于是: 证言, p. 18

"但现在我一有机会就用眼角的余光去注视“奥芙凯尔”。她有一张苍白的鹅蛋脸,没有表情,俨如一枚藏在手套里的拇指指纹。我自己就知道怎样摆出空茫的表情,所以我不相信她内心真的没有波澜。她曾有过完全不同的生活。她曾是“荡妇”,那时候她是什么样的?“荡妇”和不止一个男人有关系。她和多少男人有过关系?和男人有“关系”——这究竟是什么意思?什么样的男人们?她曾放任身体的某些部位从衣服下面暴露出来吗?她会像男人一样穿长裤吗?那太不圣洁了,简直难以想象!但如果她真的穿长裤,胆子可真够大的呀!她肯定和现在有着天差地别。那时候,她肯定更有活力吧。"
