• ‟ That's something I think is growing on me as I get older: happy endings.

  - Alice Munro
  

• ‟ I got interested in reading very early, because a story was read to me, by Hans Christian Andersen, which was 'The Little Mermaid,' and I don't know if you remember 'The Little Mermaid,' but it's dreadfully sad. The little mermaid falls in love with this prince, but she cannot marry him because she is a mermaid.

  - Alice Munro

  - Alice Munro
  

• ‟ While working on my first five books, I kept wishing I was writing a novel. I thought until you wrote a novel, you weren't taken seriously as a writer.

  - Alice Munro
  

• ‟ I feel that I've done what I wanted to do, and that makes me feel fairly content.

  - Alice Munro
  

• ‟ Mothers and daughters generally have fairly complex relationships, and ours was made much more so by Mother's illness. She had Parkinson's disease, which was not diagnosed for a long time... All that made me very self-protective, because for one thing, I didn't want to get trapped.

  - Alice Munro
  

• ‟ I've lived in a big showplace house, and I never want to live again in a house that overshadows me.

  - Alice Munro
