Jean Rhys Quotes

When I Was Excited About Life, I Didn't Want To Write At All. I've Never Written When I Was Happy. I Didn't Want To. But I've Never Had A Long Period Of Being Happy, Do You Think Anyone Has? I Think You Can Be Peaceful For A Long Time, When I Think About It, If I Had To Choose, I'd Rather Be Happy Than Write. You See, There's Very Little Invention In My Books. What Came First With Most Of Them Was The Wish To Get Rid Of This Awful Sadness That Weighed Me Down . I Found When I Was A Child That If I Could Put The Hurt Into Words, It Would Go. It Leaves A Sort Of Melancholy Behind And Then It Goes.
