1. **“The constant happiness is curiosity.”**
– *Interview with The Paris Review*, 1994
*A concise and profound insight into the joy of lifelong learning and discovery.*
2. **“In your life there are a few places, or maybe only the one place, where something happened, and then there are all the other places.”**
– From *Too Much Happiness* (2009)
*A reflection on how certain moments and locations shape a life story more deeply than others.*
3. **“The complexity of things — the things within things — just seems to be endless. I mean nothing is easy, nothing is simple.”**
– *The Paris Review*, 1994
*A statement about her deep attention to nuance, especially in human relationships.*
4. **“Memory is the way we keep telling ourselves our stories — and telling other people a somewhat different version of our stories.”**
– Quoted in *Alice Munro: Writing Her Lives* by Robert Thacker
*Explores the subjectivity of truth and the nature of storytelling itself.*
5. **“Love removes the world for you, and just as surely when it’s going well as when it’s going badly.”**
