More quotes by Katherine Mansfield
Can one do nothing for the dead? And for a long time the answer had been - Nothing!
Katherine Mansfield
What is it with me? Am I absolutely nobody, but merely inordinately vain? I do not know…. But I am most fearfully unhappy. That is all. I am so unhappy that I wish I was dead—yet I should be mad to die when I have not yet lived at all.

Katherine Mansfield

Katherine Mansfield
Tidied all my papers. Tore up and ruthlessly destroyed much. This is always a great satisfaction.
Katherine Mansfield
I am a recluse at present & do nothing but write & read & read & write
Katherine Mansfield
I saw myself driving through Eternity in a timeless taxi.
Katherine Mansfield
There are in life as many aspects as attitudes towards it, and aspects change with attitudes.
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
We can do whatever we wish to do provided our wish is strong enough. But the tremendous effort needed- one doesn't always want to make it-does one? ... But what else can be done? What's the alternative? What do you want most to do? That's what I have to keep asking myself, in the face of difficulties.
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
Outside the sky is light with stars
