Ingatan adalah cara kita terus menceritakan kisah kita kepada diri kita sendiri - dan memberi tahu orang lain versi yang agak berbeda dari kisah kita. Asli: Peoples lives, in Jubilee as elsewhere, were dull, simple, amazing, unfathomable-deep caves paved with kitchen linoleum. . . . What I wanted [to write down] was every last thing, every layer of speech and thought, stroke of light on bark or walls, every smell, pothole, pain, crack, delusion, held still and held together-radiant, everlasting.

— Alice Munro
