Jean Rhys

I like shape very much. A novel has to have shape, and life doesn't have any.

I often want to cry. That is the only advantage women have over men - at least they can cry.

Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere.

I don't like characters that are left being jerks at the end of the movie.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.
