Alice Munro
“It was at this time that she entirely gave up on reading.

The covers of books looked like coffins to her, either shabby or ornate, and what was inside them might as well have been dust.”
Alice Munro, Open Secrets

Alice Munro
“A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you.”
Alice Munro, Selected Stories

Vasco Pratolini
“«Io ho pochissimi amici, forse nessuno di veramente intimo. Ho delle conoscenze, dei ragazzi e delle ragazze come me, la mia amica che ti parlò ieri al telefono, per esempio, con i quali scherzo, ballo, studio, faccio i pettegolezzi, ci scambiamo le idee, facciamo gli scemi e le persone serie a seconda delle circostanze, ma dentro, dentro è diverso. Ci sono dei tasti che toccati una volta per conoscersi quali siamo, non si toccano più, non si va a fondo. Si resta amici, ma si sa che certi argomenti non si debbono più toccare. Ci si sopporta e stima a vicenda. Papà diceva: ci si aiuta a vivere. Guai se così non fosse. Ma l'amicizia, diceva papà, l'amicizia vera è un sentimento forte. È un volersi bene spietato, un guardarsi continuamente negli occhi...»”
Vasco Pratolini, Un eroe del nostro tempo

Alice Munro
“You cannot let your parents anywhere near your real humiliations.”
Alice Munro, Open Secrets

Alice Munro
“Never underestimate the meanness in people's souls... Even when they're being kind... especially when they're being kind.”
