“The constant happiness is curiosity.”
Alice Munro

“The conversation of kisses. Subtle, engrossing, fearless, transforming.”
Alice Munro, Runaway: Stories

“There is a limit to the amount of misery and disarray you will put up with, for love, just as there is a limit to the amount of mess you can stand around a house. You can't know the limit beforehand, but you will know when you've reached it. I believe this.”
Alice Munro
