Katherine Mansfield
I am treating you as my friend, asking you to share my present minuses in the hope that I can ask you to share my future plusses.
Katherine Mansfield

Katherine Mansfield
Ach, Tchekov! Why are you dead? Why can’t I talk to you in a big darkish room at late evening—where the light is green from the waving trees outside? I’d like to write a series of Heavens: that would be one.
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
What I feel for you can’t be conveyed in phrasal combinations It either screams out loud or stays painfully silent but I promise — it beats words. It beats worlds. I promise
Katherine Mansfield
The pleasure of all reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books.
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
There are always these moments in life when the limits of suffering are reached and we become heroes and heroines.
Katherine Mansfield
I saw myself driving through Eternity in a timeless taxi.
