Do the hardest thing on earth...

Do the hardest thing on earth for you. ACT YOURSELF.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

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 149 quotes

Ach, Tchekov! Why are you dea...

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 149 quotes

What can you do if you are th...

What can you do if you are thirty and, turning the corner of your own street, you are overcome, suddenly, by a feeling of bliss - absolute bliss - as though you'd suddenly swallowed a bright piece of that late afternoon sun and it burned in your bosom, sending out a little shower of sparks into every particle into every finger and toe?

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

By health I mean the power to...

By health I mean the power to live a full, adult, living, breathing life in close contact with what I love - the earth and the wonders thereof - the sea - the sun, all that we mean when we speak of the external world. I want to enter into it, to be part of it, to live in it, to learn from it, to lose all that is superficial and acquired in me and to become a conscious, direct human being. I want, by understanding myself, to understand others.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

I have such a horror of telegrams that ask me how I am!! I always want to reply dead.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

I love the night. I love to f...

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 149 quotes

But one day we shall be rich,...

But one day we shall be rich, and the next poor. One day we shall dine in a palace and the next we'll sit in a forest and toast mushrooms on a hatpin.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

Oh, impossible. Fancy cream p...

Oh, impossible. Fancy cream puffs so soon after breakfast. The very idea made one shudder. All the same, two minutes later Jose and Laura were licking their fingers with that absorbed inward look that only comes from whipped cream.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

What happiness it is to liste...

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 149 quotes

... I'd always rather be with...

... I'd always rather be with people who loved me too little rather than with people who loved me too much.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

Oh, how quickly things change...

Oh, how quickly things changed! Why didn't happiness last for ever? For ever wasn't a bit too long.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

I want so to live that I work...

I want so to live that I work with my hands and my feeling and my brain. I want a garden, a small house, grass, animals, books, pictures, music. And out of this, the expression of this, I want to be writing (Though I may write about cabmen. That’s no matter.) But warm, eager, living life — to be rooted in life — to learn, to desire, to feel, to think, to act. This is what I want. And nothing less. That is what I must try for.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

England is merely an island of beef swimming in a warm gulf stream of gravy.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

You have never been curious a...

You have never been curious about me; you never wanted to explore my soul.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

Perhaps it does not matter so...

Perhaps it does not matter so very much what it is one loves in this world. But love something one must.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

There are in life as many asp...

There are in life as many aspects as attitudes towards it, and aspects change with attitudes.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

I must say, I hate money. But...

I must say, I hate money. But it's the lack of it I hate most.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

Make it a rule of life never ...

Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

When I say "I fear" - don't l...

When I say "I fear" - don't let it disturb you, dearest heart. We all fear when we are in waiting-rooms. Yet we must pass beyond them, and if the other can keep calm, it is all the help we can give each other.
