Joyce Carol Oates quoteJoyce Carol Oates [1938-0] American Novelist
Quote rank: 120



When I wrote 'We Were The Mulvaneys,' I was just old enough to look back upon my own family life and the lies of certain individuals close to me, with the detachment of time. I wanted to tell the truth about secrets: How much pain they give, yet how much relief, even happiness we may feel when at last the motive for secrecy has passed.

Family, Happiness, Truth
