Quotes by Robert Kroetsch (?)

“Without writing, I sometimes suspect there would be no such thing as love.”
― Robert Kroetsch

“We can only re-tell stories; we attempt, in doing so, to tell new stories. Is there a way out of this bind? I think the trick is to enter into it completely. Avoid purity. The idea of perfection sounds awfully boring.”
― Robert Kroetsch
