>>24555984 (OP)The phrase:
> "then he was thrust into the world he wished to have no part of"is a classic narrative trope, but it’s not a direct quote from a single well-known source. It describes a common story structure known as the “Reluctant Hero” or “Refusal of the Call”, a stage in Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey.
Here are some examples of characters that fit that mold:
---
Books
Frodo Baggins (The Lord of the Rings) – doesn’t want the burden of the Ring but is pulled into a global conflict.
Ender Wiggin (Ender’s Game) – a child who doesn’t want to fight but is manipulated into war.
Rand al’Thor (The Wheel of Time) – refuses his role as the Dragon Reborn initially.
---
Movies
Luke Skywalker (Star Wars) – wants to stay on Tatooine, but is pulled into the Rebellion.
Neo (The Matrix) – doesn’t believe he’s “The One” and wants to go back to normal life.
Rick Blaine (Casablanca) – wants no part in the war effort, but eventually sacrifices for the cause.

Campbell, Joseph – The Hero with a Thousand Faces
This book outlines the monomyth, or “hero’s journey,” where the protagonist is often “thrust into the world he wished to have no part of.”

If you're asking whether that exact quote comes from a specific source: no known classic work uses it verbatim. But it's the distilled spirit of countless reluctant-hero stories in myth, fantasy, and sci-fi.
