Katherine Mansfield

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
The truth is friendship is every bit as sacred and eternal as marriage.
Katherine Mansfield
You have never been curious about me you never wanted to explore my soul.
Katherine Mansfield
I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Katherine Mansfield
Can one do nothing for the dead? And for a long time the answer had been - Nothing!
Katherine Mansfield
Do the hardest thing on earth for you. ACT YOURSELF.
Katherine Mansfield
England is merely an island of beef swimming in a warm gulf stream of gravy.
