“She would live now, not read.”

“People are curious. A few people are. They will be driven to find things out, even trivial things.”

Alice Munro

&quot;Friend of My Youth&quot;, in Friend of My Youth https://books.google.com/books?id=JHO0R0im-WsC&amp;pg=PT94 (1990) <br class="br">Kontext: People are curious. A few people are. They will be driven to find things out, even trivial things. They will put things together, knowing all along that they may be mistaken. You see them going around with notebooks, scraping the dirt off gravestones, reading microfilm, just in the hope of seeing this trickle in time, making a connection, rescuing one thing from the rubbish.<br>And they may get it wrong, after all. I may have got it wrong.

“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.”

“Few people, very few, have a treasure, and if you do you must hang onto it. You must not let yourself be waylaid, and have it taken from you.”

Alice Munro kniha Runaway

Zdroj: Runaway (2004)
Kontext: This is what happens. You put it away for a little while, and now and again you look in the closet for something else and you remember, and you think, soon. Then it becomes something that is just there, in the closet, and other things get crowded in front of it and on top of it and finally you don't think about it at all.
The thing that was your bright treasure. You don't think about it. A loss you could not contemplate at one time, and now it becomes something you can barely remember.
This is what happens.
Few people, very few, have a treasure, and if you do you must hang onto it. You must not let yourself be waylaid, and have it taken from you.

“My head was a magpie's nest lined with such bright scraps of information.”
