More quotes by Katherine Mansfield
You have never been curious about me you never wanted to explore my soul.
Katherine Mansfield
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
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.

Katherine Mansfield

Katherine Mansfield

To long for everything: sorrow to accept everything: joy.
Katherine Mansfield
we cling to our last pleasures as the tree clings to its last leaves.
Katherine Mansfield
My love for you tonight is so deep and tender that it seems to be outside myself as well.
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
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
There is no feeling to be compared with the feeling of having written and finished a story.
Katherine Mansfield
You are a Queen. Let mine be the joy of giving you your kingdom.
Katherine Mansfield
