More quotes by Katherine Mansfield
I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Katherine Mansfield
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.
Katherine Mansfield
In fact, isn't it a joy - there is hardly a greater one - to find a new book, a living book, and to know that it will remain with you while life lasts?
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
The truth is friendship is every bit as sacred and eternal as marriage.
Katherine Mansfield
If you wish to live, you must first attend your own funeral.
Katherine Mansfield
we cling to our last pleasures as the tree clings to its last leaves.
Katherine Mansfield
Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different.
Katherine Mansfield
It is of immense importance to learn to laugh at ourselves.
Katherine Mansfield
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
No, no the mind I love must still have wild places - a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in the heavy grass, an overgrown litde wood, the chance of a snake or two (real snakes), a pool that nobody's fathomed the depth of, and paths threaded with those litde flowers planted by the wind.
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
What do you want most to do? That's what I have to keep asking myself, in the face of difficulties.
Katherine Mansfield
The ostrich burying its head in the sand does at any rate wish to convey the impression that its head is the most important part of it.
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
Warm, eager, living life-to be rooted in life-to learn, to desire, to know, to feel, to think, to act. This is what I want. And nothing less. That is what I must try for.
Katherine Mansfield
The pleasure of all reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books.
Katherine Mansfield
Do the hardest thing on earth for you. ACT YOURSELF.
Katherine Mansfield
That's all life is - something childish and very natural. Isn't it?
Katherine Mansfield
You are a Queen. Let mine be the joy of giving you your kingdom.
Katherine Mansfield
