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

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

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

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

To work - to work! It is such...

To work - to work! It is such infinite delight to know that we still have the best things to do.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

Yes, my mother's death is a terrible sorrow to me. I feel - do you know what I mean - the silence of it so. She was more alive than anyone I have ever known.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

Wind moving through grass so ...

Wind moving through grass so that the grass quivers. This moves me with an emotion I don't even understand.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

I feel I must live alone, alone, alone - with artists only to touch the door. Every artist cuts off his ear and nails it on the outside of the door for the others to shout into.

Regret is an appalling waste ...

Regret is an appalling waste of time.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

All the wild sweetness of the...

All the wild sweetness of the flower
Tangled against the wall.
It was that magic, silent hour....
The branches grew so tall
They twined themselves into a bower.
The sun shown ... and the fall

Of yellow blossom on the grass!
You feel that golden rain?
Both of you could not hold, alas,
(both of you tried, in vain)
A memory, stranger. So I pass....
It will not come again.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

Courage is like a disobedient dog, once it starts running away it flies all the faster for your attempts to recall it.

Warm, eager, living life-to be rooted in life-to learn, to desire, to know, 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

I love this place; I love mou...

I love this place; I love mountains and big skies and forests. And the weather is still supremely beautiful even though the lower peaks are powdered with fresh snow. But Heavens! What sun. It never has an ending. I am basking at this minute - half past four - too hot without a hat, & the sky is that transparent blue only to be seen in autumn - the forest trees steeped in light.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

The ostrich burying its head ...

The ostrich burying its head in the sand does at any rate wish to convey the impression that its head is the most important part of it.

That is the fearful part of having been near death. One knows how easy it is to die. The barriers that are up for everybody else are down for you, and you've only to slip through.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

If you wish to live, you must first attend your own funeral.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

conversation is like a dear little baby that is brought in to be handed round. You must rock it, nurse it, keep it on the move if you want it to keep smiling.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

I love the evening star. Does...

I love the evening star. Does that sound foolish? I used to go into the backyard, after sunset, and wait for it until it shone above the dark gum tree. I used to whisper 'There you are, my darling.' And just in that first moment it seemed to be shining for me alone. It seemed to understand this ... something which is like longing, and yet it is not longing. Or regret - it is more like regret.

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... the earth and the wonders thereof - the sea - the sun.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

As in the physical world, so in the spiritual world, pain does not last forever.

I am going to enjoy life in Paris I know. It is so human and there is something noble in the city... It is a real city, old and fine and life plays in it for everybody to see.
