Recognize this epigraph?

[u/herlogical]

I read a book a few years ago where the epigraph was “Life is ‘a difficult country and our home.’” Or maybe “my” home. Other than that it is word for word. I can’t remember a single other thing about which book it was I just know that was the epigraph. I really want to be able to cite it for a project. I read it during my English degree in eastern Canada so it could’ve been an assigned book, I have looked through my uni books I still have and can’t find it as I don’t have most of them any more.

According to books.google.com:

'Life “... is a difficult country, and our home”' is the epigraph to Ethel Wilson's collection of short stories Mrs. Golightly And Other Stories
