Jamaica Kincaid, The Autobiography Of My Mother Quotes
The inevitable is no less a shock just because it is inevitable.
I was a new person then, I knew things I had not known before, I knew things that you can know only if you have been through what I had just been through.
No matter how happy I had been in the past I do not long for it. The present is always the moment for which I love.
Who you are is a mystery no one can answer, not even you.
It is sad that unless you are born a god, your life, from its very beginning, is a mystery to you.
