More quotes by Katherine Mansfield
I want, by understanding myself, to understand others. I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.... This all sounds very strenuous and serious. But now that I have wrestled with it, it's no longer so. I feel happy- deep down. All is well.
Katherine Mansfield
I adore Life. What do all the fools matter and all the stupidity. They do matter but somehow for me they cannot touch the body of Life. Life is marvellous. I want to be deeply rooted in it - to live - to expand - to breathe in it - to rejoice - to share it. To give and to be asked for Love.
Katherine Mansfield
Outside the sky is light with stars
Katherine Mansfield
England is merely an island of beef swimming in a warm gulf stream of gravy.
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
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. God, looking down upon the rainy earth, sees how faint are these lights shining in little windows, - how easily put out.
Katherine Mansfield
To work - to work! It is such infinite delight to know that we still have the best things to do.
Katherine Mansfield
The mind I love must have wild places.
Katherine Mansfield
I saw myself driving through Eternity in a timeless taxi.
Katherine Mansfield
we cling to our last pleasures as the tree clings to its last leaves.
Katherine Mansfield
The truth is friendship is every bit as sacred and eternal as marriage.
Katherine Mansfield
If only one could tell true love from false love as one can tell mushrooms from toadstools.
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
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
There are in life as many aspects as attitudes towards it, and aspects change with attitudes.
Katherine Mansfield
I love the night. I love to feel the tide of darkness rising, slowly and slowly washing, turning over and over, lifting, floating, all that lies strewn upon the dark beach, all that lies hid in rocky hollows.
Katherine Mansfield
I am a recluse at present & do nothing but write & read & read & write
Katherine Mansfield
Wind moving through grass so that the grass quivers. This moves me with an emotion I don't even understand.
Katherine Mansfield
There is no feeling to be compared with the feeling of having written and finished a story.
Katherine Mansfield
I'm a writer first and a woman after.
