The constant happiness is curiosity (Alice Munro Quotes)
It’s just life. You can’t beat life. (Alice Munro Quotes)
People have thoughts they’d sooner not have. It happens in life (Alice Munro Quotes)
The conversation of kisses. Subtle, engrossing, fearless, transforming (Alice Munro Quotes)
The complexity of things - the things within things - just seems to be endless. I mean nothing is easy, nothing is simple (Alice Munro Quotes)
He never wanted to be away from her. She had the spark of life (Alice Munro Quotes)
Memory is the way we keep telling ourselves our stories - and telling other people a somewhat different version of our stories (Alice Munro Quotes)
I want the reader to feel something is astonishing. Not the ‘what happens,’ but the way everything happens. These long short story fictions do that best, for me (Alice Munro Quotes)
And now such a warm commotion, such busy love (Alice Munro Quotes)
Life would be grand if it weren’t for the people (Alice Munro Quotes)
There’s a kind of tension that if I’m getting a story right I can feel right away, and I don’t feel that when I try to write a novel. I kind of want a moment that’s explosive, and I want everything gathered into that. (Alice Munro Quotes)
It’s just life. You can’t beat life (Alice Munro Quotes)
Lovers. Not a soft word, as people thought, but cruel and tearing (Alice Munro Quotes)
She would live now, not read (Alice Munro Quotes)
Who can ever say the perfect thing to the poet about his poetry? (Alice Munro Quotes)
Every year, when you’re a child, you become a different person (Alice Munro Quotes)
You want in all cases for the story to get through the writing (Alice Munro Quotes)
I loved taking off. In my own house, I seemed to be often looking for a place to hide - sometimes from the children but more often from the jobs to be done and the phone ringing and the sociability of the neighborhood. I wanted to hide so that I could get busy at my real work, which was a sort of wooing of distant parts of myself (Alice Munro Quotes)
We say of some things that they can’t be forgiven, or that we will never forgive ourselves. But we do-we do it all the time (Alice Munro Quotes)
Things have changed, ofcourse. There are counsellors at the ready. Kindness and understanding. Life is harder for some, we’re told. Not their fault, even if the blows are purely imgainery. Felt just as keenly by the recipient, or the non recipient, as the case may be. But good use can be made of everything, if you are willing (Alice Munro Quotes)
I have never kept diaries. I just remember a lot and am more self-centered than most people (Alice Munro Quotes)
In my own work, I tend to cover a lot of time and to jump back and forward in time, and sometimes the way I do this is not very straightforward (Alice Munro Quotes)
Luck took me right out of myself - I read it in one gulp, and it never let me down. Sharp and surprising but always responsible, no tricks for tricks’ sake; so satisfying, with its shifting and puzzles. So much fiction turns out to be diversion, in spite of fancy claims, and doesn’t really look at anything. Well - this does (Alice Munro Quotes)
The deep, personal material of the latter half of your life is your children. You can write about your parents when they’re gone, but your children are still going to be here, and you’re going to want them to come and visit you in the nursing home. (Alice Munro Quotes)
I would really hope this would make people see the short story as an important art, not just something you played around with until you got a novel. (Alice Munro Quotes)
I read a book called The Art of Loving. A lot of things seemed clear while I was reading it but afterwards I went back to being more or less the same (Alice Munro Quotes)
This is the way you look at the poorest details of the world resurfaced, after you’ve been driving for a long time -- you feel their singleness and precise location and the forlorn coincidence of you being there to see them. (Alice Munro Quotes)
I want the reader to feel something is astonishing. Not the ‘what happens,’ but the way everything happens. These long short story fictions do that best, for me. (Alice Munro Quotes)
What if people really did that - sent their love through the mail to get rid of it? What would it be that they sent? A box of chocolates with centers like the yolks of turkey eggs. A mud doll with hollow eye sockets. A heap of roses slightly more fragrant than rotten. A package wrapped in bloody newspaper that nobody would want to open (Alice Munro Quotes)
Children of course are monstrously conventional, repelled at once by whatever is off-center, out of whack, unmanageable. And being an only child I had been coddled a good deal (also scolded). I was awkward, precocious, timid, full of my private rituals and aversions (Alice Munro Quotes)
