Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage Quotes

“A fight like this was stunning, revealing not just how much he was on the lookout for enemies, but how she too was unable to abandon argument which escalated into rage. Neither of them would back off, they held bitterly to principles.

Can't you tolerate people being different, why is this so important?
If this isn't important, nothing is.

The air seemed to grow thick with loathing. All over a matter that could never be resolved. They went to bed speechless, parted speechless the next morning, and during the day were overtaken by fear - hers that he would never come home, his that when he did she would not be there. Their luck held, however. They came together in the late afternoon pale with contrition, shaking with love, like people who had narrowly escaped an earthquake and had been walking around in naked desolation.”

“And now such a warm commotion, such busy love.”
― Alice Munro, Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories

“There was a danger whenever I was on home ground. It was the danger of seeing my life through other eyes than my own.

Seeing it as an ever-increasing roll of words like barbed wire, intricate, bewildering, uncomforting—set against the rich productions, the food, flowers, and knitted garments, of other women’s domesticity. It became harder to say that it was worth the trouble.”
― Alice Munro, Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories

“What made more sense was that the bargain she was bound to was to go on living as she had been doing. The bargain was already in force. Days and years and feelings much the same, except that the children would grow up, and there might be one or two more of them and they too would grow up, and she and Brendan would grow older and then old.
It was not until now, not until this moment, that she had seen so clearly that she was counting on something happening, something which would change her life. She had accepted her marriage as one big change, but not as the last one.
So, nothing now but what she or anybody else could sensibly foresee. That was to be her happiness, that was what she had bargained for, nothing secret, or strange.
Pay attention to this, she thought. She had a dramatic notion of getting down on her knees. This is serious...
It was a long time ago that this happened. In North Vancouver, when they lived in the Post and Beam house. When she was twenty-four years old and new to bargaining.”
― Alice Munro, Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories

“The job she had to do, as she saw it, was to remember everything—and by “remember” she meant experience it in her mind, one more time—then store it away forever. This day’s experience set in order, none of it left ragged or lying about, all of it gathered in like treasure and finished with, set aside.”
― Alice Munro, Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage

“They spoke like caricatures, it was unbearable.”
― Alice Munro, Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage

“When you died, of course, these wrong opinions were all there was left”
― Alice Munro, Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories

“Fiona had never learned her mother's language and she had never shown much respect for the stories that it preserved-the stories that Grant had taught and written about, and still did write about, in his working life. She referred to their heroes as "old Njal" or "old Snorri." But in the last few years she had developed an interest in the country itself and looked at travel guides. She read about William Morris's trip, and Auden's. She didn't really plan to travel there. She said the weather was too dreadful. Also-she said-there ought to be one place you thought about and knew about and maybe longed for-but never did get to see.”
― Alice Munro, Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories

“And so it often happened with those practical people. In spite of their calculations, their survival instincts, they might not get as far as they had quite reasonably expected. No doubt it seemed unfair.”
― Alice Munro, Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage

“I did not understand why Alfrida looked at him with such a fiercely encouraging smile. All of my experience of a woman with men, of a woman listening to her man, hoping and hoping that he will establish himself as somebody she can reasonably be proud of, was in the future.”
― Alice Munro, Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories

“And yet—an excitement. The unspeakable excitement you feel when a galloping disaster promises to release you from all responsibility for your own life.”
― Alice Munro, Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories

“She was not, after all, somebody people flocked to in the world. And yet she was choosy, in her own way.”
― Alice Munro, Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories

“There’s the intelligent sort of love that makes an intelligent choice. That’s the kind you’re supposed to get married on. Then there’s the kind that’s anything but intelligent, that’s like a possession. And that’s the one everybody really values.”
(Hard-Luck Stories)”
― Alice Munro, Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories

“tremor of nerves there, an affected nonchalance, a hurry to get through and a reluctance to let go.”
― Alice Munro, Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage

“Her teeth were crowded to the front of her mouth as if they were ready for an argument”
― Alice Munro, Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage

“The stinging nettles that we must have got into are more insignificant plants, with a paler purple flower, and stalks wickedly outfitted with fine, fierce, skin-piercing and inflaming spines. Those would be present too, unnoticed, in all the flourishing of the waste meadow.”
― Alice Munro, Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories

“E, ainda assim, uma euforia. A euforia indizível que se sente quando um desastre galopante guarda a promessa de libertar a pessoa de toda a responsabilidade de sua própria vida.”
― Alice Munro, Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories

“Porém ela sabia agora que havia épocas em que o feio e o bonito serviam exatamente para o mesmo propósito, quando qualquer coisa para a qual se olha é apenas um gancho onde pendurar as sensações descontroladas de seu corpo e os bocados e pedaços de sua mente.”

“She would say she loved him, and mean it to a certain extent, and she wanted to be loved by him, but there was a little hum of hate running along beside her love, nearly all the time.”
― Alice Munro, Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories

“What had been between them, all these years, had been kept in balance because of their two marriages. Their marriages were the real content of their lives—her marriage to Lewis, the sometimes harsh and bewildering, indispensable content of her life. This other thing depended on those marriages, for its sweetness, its consoling promise. It was not likely to be something that could hold up on its own, even if they were both free.”

Nemico, amico, amante...

- Certo. Viene al ristorante un paio di volte la settimana. Lo fa anche col te. Legge le foglie di te.
Il ponte galleggiante

Doveva esserci decisamente troppo da mangiare, e i discorsi a tavola dovevano vertere per lo più sul cibo, con gli ospiti che ripetevano quanto fosse squisito e che, sollecitati a prenderne ancora, giurando di non potercela fare, sazi com'erano, per poi cedere a un bis, gli uomini, e prenderne ancora un boccone, le zie, dicendo che non avrebbero proprio dovuto, che si sentivano scoppiare.
Mobili di famiglia

Nina si era informata per l'acquisto di una sedia a rotelle. E lui non si era opposto. Tra di loro non parlavano più di quella che avevano battezzato la Serrata Generale.
Conforto

Di come il mio intero territorio si sarebbe modificato, come se una frana ci si fosse riversata sopra, facendo piazza pulita di ogni significato tranne che della perdita di Mike.
Ortiche

Le ricordavano certi segni leggeri che a volte si notavano sui marciapiedi in primavera: ombre lasciate da foglie rimaste incollate per terra l'anno precedente.
Post and Beam

Poi sarebbe venuto il tragitto nell'antiquata gabbia dell'ascensore, azionata da un vecchio - o forse da una vecchia, un'invalida magari, scaltra serva del vizio.
Quello che si ricorda

Il pesante trucco alla Cleopatra e l'ombretto viola le rimpicciolivano anziché ingrandirle gli occhi, come se si nascondessero apposta. Aveva i buchi alle orecchie, trafitti da due tondeggianti cerchi d'oro.
Queenie

Nel centro abitato vicino a Lagoverde trovò un fioraio e comprò un grosso bouquet. Non aveva mai regalato fiori a Fiona. Né a nessun altra. Fece il proprio ingresso nell'edificio come uno spasimante disperato o un marito colpevole da fumetto.
