“I like gaps; all my stories have gaps. It seems this is the way people...” — Alice Munro Quote

“I like gaps; all my stories have gaps. It seems this is the way people's lives present themselves.”

“In twenty years I've never had a day when I didn't have to think about someone else's needs. And this means the writing has to be fitted around it.”

“The stories are not autobiographical, but they're personal in that way. I seem to know only the things that I've learned. Probably some things through observation, but what I feel I know surely is personal.”

“For me, it is important to take gaps after finishing a project.”

“The world is richer than ever, and the gaps between rich and poor are wider.”

“In my case, the long gaps between my books have got quite a lot to do with lack of confidence. A lot of the time when I'm not writing I start thinking I can't do it.”
