Alice Munro Quotes

Author: Alice Munro

Author: Alice Munro
«That's something I think is growing on me as I get older: happy endings.»

«Sometimes I read one of my stories, maybe one that I wrote thirty years ago, and I think, Now I'd go and do it differently. Or I think I would just alter a phrase that seems to me a little too polished or too sharp or too smart-aleck or something. Or too ironic. Irony was so big then that it got under your skin and you sort of didn't recognize it.»
Author: Alice Munro

Author: Alice Munro
«I'm sorry I'm not able to be here. It is this attention of yours that has helped me to flourish for the past couple of decades, as an unapologetic writer of short fiction.»
