More quotes by Katherine Mansfield
If you wish to live, you must first attend your own funeral.
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
To long for everything: sorrow to accept everything: joy.
Katherine Mansfield
It's a terrible thing to be alone - yes it is - it is - but don't lower your mask until you have another mask prepared beneath - as terrible as you like - but a mask.
Katherine Mansfield
Can one do nothing for the dead? And for a long time the answer had been - Nothing!
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

Katherine Mansfield

Katherine Mansfield

Katherine Mansfield

Katherine Mansfield
I love the night. I love to feel the tide of darkness rising, slowly and slowly washing, turning over and over, lifting, floating, all that lies strewn upon the dark beach, all that lies hid in rocky hollows.
Katherine Mansfield
You have never been curious about me you never wanted to explore my soul.
Katherine Mansfield
Ach, Tchekov! Why are you dead? Why can’t I talk to you in a big darkish room at late evening—where the light is green from the waving trees outside? I’d like to write a series of Heavens: that would be one.
Katherine Mansfield
What can you do if you are thirty and, turning the corner of your own street, you are overcome, suddenly, by a feeling of bliss - absolute bliss - as though you'd suddenly swallowed a bright piece of that late afternoon sun and it burned in your bosom, sending out a little shower of sparks into every particle into every finger and toe?
Katherine Mansfield
Regret is an appalling waste of time.
Katherine Mansfield
Tidied all my papers. Tore up and ruthlessly destroyed much. This is always a great satisfaction.
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
You are a Queen. Let mine be the joy of giving you your kingdom.
Katherine Mansfield
In the woods where snow is thick, bars of sunlight lay like pale fire.
