More quotes by Katherine Mansfield
Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy, you can't build on it it's only good for wallowing in.
Katherine Mansfield
September is different from all other months. It is more magical. I feel the strange chemical change in the earth which produces mushrooms is the cause, too, of the extra 'life' in the air - a resilience, a sparkle.
Katherine Mansfield
To long for everything: sorrow to accept everything: joy.
Katherine Mansfield
The great thing to remember is we can do whatever we wish to do provided our wish is strong enough.

Katherine Mansfield

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
My love for you tonight is so deep and tender that it seems to be outside myself as well.
Katherine Mansfield
Better to write twaddle, anything, than nothing at all.
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
Outside the sky is light with stars
Katherine Mansfield
In the shortest sea voyage there is no sense of time. You have been down in the cabin for hours or days or years. Nobody knows or cares. You know all the people to the point of indifference. You do not believe in dry land any more - you are caught in the pendulum itself, and left there, idly swinging.
Katherine Mansfield
England is merely an island of beef swimming in a warm gulf stream of gravy.
