Quotes 

• Offred : Nolite te bastardes carborundorum, bitches.

• Offred : There was an Offred before me. She helped me find my way out. She is dead. She is alive. She is me. We are Handmaids. Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum bitches.

• Aunt Lydia Clements : The most painful thing about this is not the betrayal of trust, June. Do you know what's most painful? The most painful thing in this entire ugly incident is the ingratitude. Don't you realize the opportunity you have been given?

  Offred : Yes, I tried to.

  Aunt Lydia Clements : You were an adulterer, a worthless slut. But God found a way to make you useful. So... where's the gratitude?

• Offred : You had to be brave to do this. So whatever it means, thank you.

• Offred : [Voiceover, as she watches The Commander consider a move on the board]  Has she been here? My predecessor? Knower of Latin, scratcher of words? Am I not the first he's invited to this room? What happened? Did she say the wrong thing? Did she displease him - this Divine Emperor of the house? And what price did she pay for her insolence?

• Offred : It has been so hard, being alone in that room all the time. I know Mrs. Waterford is... is trying to teach me a lesson, I know. I know she's right. I have so many flaws. But it has been so long. I'm afraid I'm starting to give up. I certainly wouldn't want to give up. Like my friend.

  Fred Waterford : That would be a tragedy.

• Offred : How did you survive this? Please talk to me.
