More quotes by Katherine Mansfield
England is merely an island of beef swimming in a warm gulf stream of gravy.
Katherine Mansfield
Now's the time when children's noses All become as red as roses And the colour of their faces Makes me think of orchard places Where the juicy apples grow, And tomatoes in a row.
Katherine Mansfield
There are always these moments in life when the limits of suffering are reached and we become heroes and heroines.
Katherine Mansfield
Isn't life,' she stammered, 'isn't life--' But what life was she couldn't explain. No matter. He quite understood. 'Isn't it, darling?' said Laurie.
Katherine Mansfield
What happiness it is to listen to rain at night joyful relief, ease a lapping-round and hushing and brooding tenderness, all are mingled together in the sound of the fast-falling rain. God, looking down upon the rainy earth, sees how faint are these lights shining in little windows, - how easily put out.
Katherine Mansfield
Do you remember your childhood? I am always coming across these marvelous accounts by writers who declare that they remember 'everything.' I certainly don't. The dark stretches, the blanks, are much bigger than the bright glimpses. I seem to have spent most of my time like a plant in a cupboard.
Katherine Mansfield
No, no the mind I love must still have wild places - a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in the heavy grass, an overgrown litde wood, the chance of a snake or two (real snakes), a pool that nobody's fathomed the depth of, and paths threaded with those litde flowers planted by the wind.
Katherine Mansfield
I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Katherine Mansfield
How idiotic civilization is! Why be given a body if you have to keep it shut up in a case like a rare, rare fiddle?
Katherine Mansfield
Winter is a terrible time for thin people - terrible! Why should it hound them down, fasten on them, worry them so? Why not, for a change, take a nip, take a snap at the fat ones who wouldn't notice? But no! It is sleek, warm, cat-like summer that makes the fat one's life a misery. Winter is all for bones.
Katherine Mansfield
Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change.
Katherine Mansfield
Oh, how quickly things changed! Why didn't happiness last for ever? For ever wasn't a bit too long.
Katherine Mansfield
I'm a writer first and a woman after.
Katherine Mansfield
I saw myself driving through Eternity in a timeless taxi.
Katherine Mansfield
Looking back, I imagine I was always writing. Twaddle it was too. But better far write twaddle or anything, anything, than nothing at all.
Katherine Mansfield
The ostrich burying its head in the sand does at any rate wish to convey the impression that its head is the most important part of it.
Katherine Mansfield
Perhaps it does not matter so very much what it is one loves in this world. But love something one must.
Katherine Mansfield
In fact, isn't it a joy - there is hardly a greater one - to find a new book, a living book, and to know that it will remain with you while life lasts?
Katherine Mansfield
... I'd always rather be with people who loved me too little rather than with people who loved me too much.
Katherine Mansfield
That's all life is - something childish and very natural. Isn't it?
Katherine Mansfield
