Sue Miller Quotes

There is something truly restorative, finally comforting, in coming to the end of an illusion - a false hope Picture Quote #1

I was struck after 9/11 by what seemed the assumption that everyone bereaved by that event was suffering the same thing. I wanted to explore how individual grief is, how complicated, how colored by the complexity of the mourner’s relationship with the person who’s died Picture Quote #1

People are always thinking that I’m the main character in my books, but each one has been different, and sometimes they’ve been men Picture Quote #1

My mother was a dramatic and egocentric person, and she died before my father, who died of Alzheimer’s disease. But I’d often thought, God, we were so lucky that was the order in which they died because she would have felt put upon Picture Quote #1

I try to work in the mornings. Usually, I write in my pajamas and slowly assemble myself. I don’t get organized and sit down and get dressed. I do the laundry. I drift in and out of writing Picture Quote #1

I think the plasticity of the novel is its greatest challenge. There are no rules; there is no necessary form. You can know what you want it to be, or do, and still not know how to write it. There are endless possibilities, infinite choices. What voice should it be in? What events to start with? What characters will be part of it? Picture Quote #1

And I was remembering that time in our lives together, the time of those ritual walks. I was remembering the way it feels at just that moment when you begin to turn, when you’re poised exactly between the things in life you want to do and those you need to do, and it seems for a few blessed seconds that they are all going to be the same Picture Quote #1

I felt the kind of desperation, I think, that cancels the possibility of empathy... that makes you unkind Picture Quote #1
