More quotes by Katherine Mansfield

Katherine Mansfield
How idiotic civilization is! Why be given a body if you have to keep it shut up in a case like a rare, rare fiddle?
Katherine Mansfield
If only one could tell true love from false love as one can tell mushrooms from toadstools.
Katherine Mansfield
Wind moving through grass so that the grass quivers. This moves me with an emotion I don't even understand.
Katherine Mansfield
I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
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
Oh, how quickly things changed! Why didn't happiness last for ever? For ever wasn't a bit too long.
Katherine Mansfield
My love for you tonight is so deep and tender that it seems to be outside myself as well.
Katherine Mansfield
