More From Alice Munro

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

Are soft-hearted people handicapped in business? you have heard a businessman say of someone else, he's all right, but he's too soft-hearted.... to be soft-hearted may be handicapping, in a sense. but on the whole, a soft heart is to be preferred to a hard heart. hard-hearted, severe, dominating giants sometimes manage to get further and to amass more money. but they get less genuine joy out of life.... it is the hard-boiled employer, not the soft-hearted species, that incites most of our strikes and does most to endanger the harmonious progress of democracy.

You can't actually have a romance between friends. that sort of defeats the definition of the word "romance." the word you're looking for is "love." it's a love between friends, just as there's also love between lovers, or possible lovers, or even ex-lovers. same holds true for "bromance" - it's just a clever word used to avoid the word love, for straight boys who don't want that old-fashioned taint of gayness. dudes, you love each other. deal with it.

Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well. there is nothing more potent than thought. deed follows word and word follows thought. the word is the result of a mighty thought, and where the thought is mighty and pure the result is always mighty and pure.

I thought marcus was going to be in my life forever. then i thought i was wrong. now he’s back. but this time i know what’s certain: marcus will be gone again, and back again and again and again because nothing is permanent. especially people. strangers become friends. friends become lovers. lovers become strangers. strangers become friends once more, and over and over. tomorrow, next week, fifty years from now, i know i’ll get another one-word postcard from marcus, because this one doesn’t have a period signifying the end of the sentence. or the end of anything at all.

The question we should be asking is not why people are sometimes cruel, or even why a few people are usually cruel (all evidence suggests true sadists are an extremely small proportion of the population overall), but how we have come to create institutions that encourage such behavior and that suggest cruel people are in some ways admirable-or at least as deserving of sympathy as those they push around.

There are some things concerning which we must always be maladjusted if we are to be people of good will. we must never adjust ourselves to racial segregation. we must never adjust ourselves to religious bigotry. we must never adjust ourselves to economic conditions that take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few.
