The great thing to remember is we can do whatever we wish to do provided our wish is strong enough.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
You have never been curious about me you never wanted to explore my soul.
Katherine Mansfield

The mind I love must have wild places.

My love for you tonight is so deep and tender that it seems to be outside myself as well.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
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
Image

I saw myself driving through Eternity in a timeless taxi.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
You are a Queen. Let mine be the joy of giving you your kingdom.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
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
Image
Do you remember your childhood? I am always coming across these marvelous accounts by writers who declare that they remember 'everything.' I certainly don't. The dark stretches, the blanks, are much bigger than the bright glimpses. I seem to have spent most of my time like a plant in a cupboard.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
I'm a writer first and a woman after.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
... I'd always rather be with people who loved me too little rather than with people who loved me too much.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
I don't believe other people are ever as foolishly excited as I am while I'm working. How could they be? Writers would have to live in trees.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different.

It's rather nice to think of oneself as a sailor bending over the map of one's mind and deciding where to go and how to go. The great thing to remember is we can do whatever we wish to do provided our wish is strong enough.
