Quotes by Jean Rhys

‘All of writing is a huge lake. There are great rivers that feed the lake, like Tolstoy or Dostoyevsky. And then there are mere trickles, like Jean Rhys. All that matters is feeding the lake. I don't matter. The lake matters. You must keep feeding the lake.'

'All of a writer that matters is in the book or books. It is idiotic to be curious about the person.'
