More quotes by Katherine Mansfield

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
The truth is that every true admirer of the novels cherishes the happy thought that he alone - reading between the lines - has bcome the secret friend of their author.
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
Regret is an appalling waste of time.
Katherine Mansfield
Some couples go over their budgets very carefully every month. Others just go over them.
Katherine Mansfield
if one really does try to find out why it is that people don't leave each other, one discovers a mystery. It is because they can't they are bound. And nobody on earth knows what are the bonds that bind them except those two.
Katherine Mansfield
To be alive and to be a ‘writer’ is enough.
Katherine Mansfield
