Frases de vida de Alice Munro

“Cuando dije lo de abandonar, sinceramente lo creía. El trabajo me estaba resultando demasiado duro y pensé que me había llegado la hora de llevar la vida de una señora normal. ¡Y lo hice! Por unos seis meses. Salí a almorzar con amigas, me dediqué a la jardinería, a la caridad. Fue horrible. Después me di cuenta de que ya no sirvo para una vida normal: he escrito tantos años que no sé hacer nada más.”

Alice Munro Frases y Citas

“Tal vez escribo historias con las que la gente se identifica; tal vez sea por la complejidad y las vidas que presento. Espero que sean una buena lectura. Espero que movilicen a la gente. Cuando me gusta un relato es porque tiene un efecto.”

Alice Munro: Frases en inglés

“She would live now, not read.”

Fuente: Dear Life: Stories

“People are curious. A few people are. They will be driven to find things out, even trivial things.”

"Friend of My Youth", in Friend of My Youth https://books.google.com/books?id=JHO0R0im-WsC&pg=PT94 (1990)
Contexto: People are curious. A few people are. They will be driven to find things out, even trivial things. They will put things together, knowing all along that they may be mistaken. You see them going around with notebooks, scraping the dirt off gravestones, reading microfilm, just in the hope of seeing this trickle in time, making a connection, rescuing one thing from the rubbish.
And they may get it wrong, after all. I may have got it wrong.

“In your life there are a few places, or maybe only the one place, where something happened, and then there are all the other places.”

Alice Munro libro Too Much Happiness

“Because if she let go of her grief even for a minute it would only hit her harder when she bumped into it again.”

“You cannot let your parents anywhere near your real humiliations.”

Alice Munro libro Open Secrets

“Few people, very few, have a treasure, and if you do you must hang onto it. You must not let yourself be waylaid, and have it taken from you.”

Alice Munro libro Runaway

Fuente: Runaway (2004)
Contexto: This is what happens. You put it away for a little while, and now and again you look in the closet for something else and you remember, and you think, soon. Then it becomes something that is just there, in the closet, and other things get crowded in front of it and on top of it and finally you don't think about it at all.
The thing that was your bright treasure. You don't think about it. A loss you could not contemplate at one time, and now it becomes something you can barely remember.
This is what happens.
Few people, very few, have a treasure, and if you do you must hang onto it. You must not let yourself be waylaid, and have it taken from you.

“My head was a magpie's nest lined with such bright scraps of information.”
