Ruth Prawer Jhabvala Quotes

India always changes people, and I have been no exception Picture Quote #1

One doesn’t choose to become a writer. One is just born that way Picture Quote #1

Everyone is so estranged; no one is rooted. That’s what I like to write about more than anything else. Everything being so mixed up. Racially mixed up, people moving from place to place, everything shifting Picture Quote #1

I only really woke up in India. It was my first experience of plenty, strangely enough, because everything in England was rationed. I loved sweets, but you couldn’t get them; then there was this marvelous mitthai - I went crazy Picture Quote #1

I am a central European with an English education and a deplorable tendency to constant self-analysis. I am irritable and have weak nerves Picture Quote #1

Perhaps I’m just fickle by nature and get tired of countries the way other women do of husbands or lovers Picture Quote #1

The older books were quite light-hearted. But I think most of my novels do end on a deep note of pessimism. Shadows seem to be closing in. The final conclusion isn’t that life is wonderful and everything is bright and cheery and in the garden Picture Quote #1

I am dissatisfied with everything I have ever written and regard it all only as a preparation for that one work which probably I don’t have it in me to write but which I hope I can go on trying for Picture Quote #1

The misfortune to be born when I was, where I was. That was a piece of bad luck Picture Quote #1

They are no longer the same because I myself am no longer the same. India always changes people, and I have been no exception Picture Quote #1
