More quotes by Kate Chopin

Kate Chopin
I would give up my life for my children, but not myself.
Kate Chopin
No, I only think you cruel, as I said the other day. Maybe not intentionally cruel but you seem to be forcing me into disclosures which can result in nothing as if you would have me bare a wound for the pleasure of looking at it, without the intention or power of healing it.
Kate Chopin

Kate Chopin

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
Goodbye -- Because I love you.
Kate Chopin
I should never deem a man of ordinary caliber worthy of my devotion.
Kate Chopin
She wanted something to happen - something, anything: she did not know what.
Kate Chopin
So the storm passed and every one was happy.
Kate Chopin
Do you suppose a woman knows why she loves? Does she select? Does she say to herself, 'Go to! here is a distinguished statesman with presidential possibilities I shall proceed to fall in love with him.' or, 'I shall set my heart upon this musician, whose fame is on every tongue?' or 'this financier, who controls the world's money markets?'
Kate Chopin
She's got some sort of notion in her head concerning the eternal rights of women.
Kate Chopin
There was no despondency when she fell asleep that night nor was there hope when she awoke in the morning.
Kate Chopin
A certain light was beginning to dawn dimly within her,—the light which, showing the way, forbids it.
Kate Chopin
There were days when she was unhappy, she did not know why,--when it did not seem worthwhile to be glad or sorry, to be alive or dead when life appeared to her like a grotesque pandemonium and humanity like worms struggling blindly toward inevitable annihilation.
Kate Chopin
