I am influenced by words and the chewiness of language

And it may be that love sometimes occurs without pain or misery.

Annie Proulx 49 quotes

Their silence comfortable. So...

Their silence comfortable. Something unfolding. But what? Not love, which wrenched and wounded. Not love, which came only once.

There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to believe, but nothing could be done about it, and if you can't fix it you've got to stand it.

Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write.

It takes a year, nephew... a full turn of the calendar, to get over losing someone.

It's easier to die if others around you are dying.

In a rough way the short story writer is to the novelist as a cabinetmaker is to a house carpenter.

All the travelin I ever done is going around the coffeepot looking for the handle.

...all them things I don't know could get you killed if I come to know them

We're all strange inside. We learn how to disguise our differences as we grow up.

Annie Proulx 49 quotes

We face up to awful things because we can't go around them, or forget them. The sooner you say 'Yes, it happened, and there's nothing I can do about it,' the sooner you can get on with your own life. You've got children to bring up. So you've got to get over it. What we have to get over, somehow we do. Even the worst things.

Annie Proulx 49 quotes

and they shook hands, hit each...

and they shook hands, hit each other on the shoulder, then there was forty feet of distance between them and nothing to do but drive away in opposite directions. Within a mile Ennis felt like someone was pulling his guts out hand over hand a yard at a time. He stopped at the side of the road and, in the whirling new snow, tried to puke but nothing came up. He felt about as bad as he ever had and it took a long time for the feeling to wear off.

Annie Proulx 49 quotes

It is my feeling that a story ...

It is my feeling that a story is not finished until it is read, and that the reader finishes it through his or her life experience, prejudices, world view and thoughts.

Annie Proulx 49 quotes

He pressed his face into the f...

He pressed his face into the fabric and breathed in slowly through his mouth and nose, hoping for the faintest smoke and mountain sage and salty sweet stink of Jack but there was no real scent, only the memory of it, the imagined power of Brokeback Mountain of which nothing was left but what he held in his hands.

Annie Proulx 49 quotes

For if Jack Buggit could escap...

For if Jack Buggit could escape from the pickle jar, if a bird with a broken neck could fly away, what else might be possible? Water may be older than light, diamonds crack in hot goat's blood, mountaintops give off cold fire, forests appear in mid-ocean, it may happen that a crab is caught with the shadow of a hand on its back, and that the wind be imprisoned in a bit of knotted string. And it may be that love sometimes occurs without pain or misery.

Walking on the land or digging...

Walking on the land or digging in the fine soil I am intensely aware that time quivers slightly, changes occurring in imperceptible and minute ways, accumulating so subtly that they seem not to exist. Yet the tiny shifts in everything--cell replication, the rain of dust motes, lengthening hair, wind-pushed rocks--press inexorably on and on.

There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to believe, but nothing could be done about it, and if you can't fix it you've got to stand it.

Change itself is what fascinates me. I am drawn, as a moth to the flame, by edge situations, by situations of metamorphosis.
