4 Alice Munro Quotes on Truth

Alice Munro quotes on truth

1. Anecdotes don't make good stories. Generally, I dig down underneath them so far that the story that finally comes out is not what people thought their anecdotes were about.

2. Memory is the way we keep telling ourselves our stories - and telling other people a somewhat different version of our stories.

10. The complexity of things - the things within things - just seems to be endless. I mean nothing is easy, nothing is simple.

11. The stories are not autobiographical, but they're personal in that way. I seem to know only the things that I've learned. Probably some things through observation, but what I feel I know surely is personal.
