More quotes by Katherine Mansfield
To long for everything: sorrow to accept everything: joy.
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
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
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
The late evening is the time of times. Then with that unearthly beauty before one it is not hard to realise how far one has to go. To write something that will be worthy of that rising moon, that pale light.
Katherine Mansfield
What do you want most to do? That's what I have to keep asking myself, in the face of difficulties.
Katherine Mansfield
Who is to decide between 'Let it be' and 'Force it'?
Katherine Mansfield
Do the hardest thing on earth for you. ACT YOURSELF.
Katherine Mansfield
Oh, how quickly things changed! Why didn't happiness last for ever? For ever wasn't a bit too long.
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
There is no feeling to be compared with the feeling of having written and finished a story.
Katherine Mansfield
Better to write twaddle, anything, than nothing at all.
Katherine Mansfield
England is merely an island of beef swimming in a warm gulf stream of gravy.
Katherine Mansfield
You have never been curious about me you never wanted to explore my soul.
Katherine Mansfield
If only one could tell true love from false love as one can tell mushrooms from toadstools.
Katherine Mansfield
I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Katherine Mansfield
we cling to our last pleasures as the tree clings to its last leaves.
Katherine Mansfield
I feel I must live alone, alone, alone - with artists only to touch the door. Every artist cuts off his ear and nails it on the outside of the door for the others to shout into.
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
To work - to work! It is such infinite delight to know that we still have the best things to do.
Katherine Mansfield
