I can't change what's happened to me in my life, or make what's not occurred take place. But I can't say I like it, or accept it, or believe it's for the best. I don't and never shall, not even if I'm damned for it.

Margaret Laurence
About This Quote

Even though I can’t change what has happened to me in my life (and I don’t want to), I think I should accept it and make the best of it. After all, we can’t say we like it, or accept it, or believe it’s for the best. But we can’t say we like, accept, or believe it’s for the best if we don’t like, accept, or believe it. And so even if I am damned for it, I won’t.
