More quotes by Kate Chopin
He greatly valued his possessions, chiefly because they were his, and derived genuine pleasure from contemplating a painting, a statuette, a rare lace curtain - no matter what - after he had bought it and placed it among his household gods.
Kate Chopin
She wanted something to happen - something, anything: she did not know what.
Kate Chopin
I would give up my life for my children, but not myself.
Kate Chopin
The way to become rich is to make money, not to save it.
Kate Chopin
Goodbye -- Because I love you.
Kate Chopin
He could see plainly that she was not herself. That is, he could not see that she was becoming herself and daily casting aside that fictitious self which we assume like a garment with which to appear before the world.
Kate Chopin

Kate Chopin

Kate Chopin

A thousand emotions have swept through me to-night. I don't comprehend half on them. Don't mind what I'm saying I am just thinking aloud.
Kate Chopin

Kate Chopin
In the procession I should feel the crushing feet, the clashing discords, the ruthless hands and stifling breath. I could not hear the rhythm of the march.
Kate Chopin
I would give up the unessential I would give up my money, I would give up my life for my children but I wouldnt give myself. I can't make it more clear it's only something I am beginning to comprehend, which is revealing itself to me.
Kate Chopin
The peace and beauty of a spring day had descended upon the earth like a benediction.
Kate Chopin
She was flushed and felt intoxicated with the sound of her own voice and the unaccustomed taste of candor. It muddled her like wine, or like a first breath of freedom.
Kate Chopin
She's got some sort of notion in her head concerning the eternal rights of women.
Kate Chopin
The artist must possess the courageous soul that dares and defies
Kate Chopin
The generous abundance of her passion, without guile or trickery, was like a white flame which penetrated and found response in depths of his own sensuous nature that had never yet been reached.
Kate Chopin
