Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Quotes
I See No Reason For Denying So Fundamental An Urge, Ruin Or No. It Is More Important To Live The Life One Wishes To Live, And To Go Down With It If Necessary, Quite Contentedly, Than To Live More Profitably But Less Happily. Yet To Achieve Content Under Sometimes Adverse Circumstances, Requires First An Adjustment Within Oneself, And This I Had Already Made, And After That, A Recognition That One Is Not Unique In Being Obliged To Toil And Struggle And Suffer. This Is The Simplest Of All Facts And The Most Difficult For The Individual Ego To Accept. As I Look Back On Those First Difficult Times At The Creek, When It Seemed As Though The Actual Labor Was More Than I Could Bear, And The Making Of A Living On The Grove Impossible, It Was Old Black Martha Who Drew Aside A Curtain And Led Me In To The Company Of All Those Who Had Loved The Creek And Been Tormented By It.
