51. “Learning to skip has brought control into her life. Whenever she feels at all sad she switches into this wholly happy gait, sliding, hopping, and sliding again; when doing this, it seems as though her head separates from her body, making her feel dizzy and emptied out of bad thoughts. Does anyone else in the world know this trick, she wonders. Probably not, though her mother sometimes waves at her from the window, waves and smiles.”

— Carol Shields

52. “People who work in libraries, like those in bakeshops, ought to be made peaceful and happy by their surroundings, but they almost never are.”

— Carol Shields

53. “I’m always interested in how characters change and how they often act inconsistently. When people teach creative writing courses, one of the first things they teach is to keep your characters consistent. And this is bad advice because human beings are not consistent. The very moments that we’re interested in are those moments in which they act inconsistently, out of character. They suddenly leap up. They can become larger than they really are. I’m interested in those moments.”

— Carol Shields

54. “Men, it seemed to me in those days, were uniquely honored by the stories that erupted in their lives, whereas women were more likely to be smothered by theirs.”

— Carol Shields
