"The newspaper stories were like dreams to us,……" — Margaret Atwood

The newspaper stories were like dreams to us, bad dreams dreamt by… - Margaret Atwood
"The newspaper stories were like dreams to us, bad dreams dreamt by others. How awful, we would say, and they were, but they were awful without being believable. They were too melodramatic, they had a dimension that was not the dimension of our lives. We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edges of print. It gave us more freedom. We lived in the gaps between the stories."
