Contradictory Quote by Margaret Atwood

“The things I believe can't all be true, though one of them must be. But I believe all of them, all three versions of Luke, at once and the same time. This contradictory way of believing seems to me, right now, the only way I can believe anything. Whatever the truth is, I will be ready for it.” quote by Margaret Atwood — Download Open image
