Jean Rhys Quote
He says: ’For me, you see, I look at life like this: someone had come to me and asked me if I wished to be born I think I should have answered No. I’m sure I should have answered No. But no one asked me. I am here not through my will. Most things that happen to me – they are not my will either. And so that’s what I say to myself all the time: You didn’t ask to be born, you didn’t make the world as it is, you didn’t make yourself as you are. Why torment yourself? Why not take life just as it comes? You have the right to; you are not one of the guilty ones.
