Regret is an appalling waste ...

Regret is an appalling waste of time.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

I feel I must live alone, alo...

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.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

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

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

Regret is an appalling waste ...

Regret is an appalling waste of energy, and no one who intends to be a writer can afford to indulge in it.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

If only one could tell true l...

If only one could tell true love from false love as one can tell mushrooms from toadstools. With mushrooms it is so simple - you salt them well, put them aside and have patience. But with love, you have no sooner lighted on anything that bears even the remotest resemblance to it than you are perfectly certain it is not only a genuine specimen, but perhaps the only genuine mushroom ungathered.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

if one really does try to find out why it is that people don't leave each other, one discovers a mystery. It is because they can't; they are bound. And nobody on earth knows what are the bonds that bind them except those two.

To long for everything: sorrow; to accept everything: joy.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

I think of you often. Especia...

I think of you often. Especially in the evenings, when I am on the balcony and it’s too dark to write or to do anything but wait for the stars. A time I love. One feels half disembodied, sitting like a shadow at the door of one’s being while the dark tide rises. Then comes the moon, marvellously serene, and small stars, very merry for some reason of their own. It is so easy to forget, in a worldly life, to attend to these miracles.

Whatever happens I have had these blissful, perfect moments and they are worth living for.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

Can one do nothing for the dead? And for a long time the answer had been - Nothing!

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

The fields are snowbound no l...

The fields are snowbound no longer;
There are little blue lakes and flags of tenderest green.
The snow has been caught up into the sky-
So many white clouds-and the blue of the sky is cold.
Now the sun walks in the forest,
He touches the bows and stems with his golden fingers;
They shiver, and wake from slumber.
Over the barren branches he shakes his yellow curls.
Yet is the forest full of the sound of tears....
A wind dances over the fields.
Shrill and clear the sound of her waking laughter,
Yet the little blue lakes tremble
And the flags of tenderest green bend and quiver.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

I want, by understanding myse...

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 149 quotes

What I feel for you can’t be ...

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 149 quotes

What is it with me? Am I abso...

What is it with me? Am I absolutely nobody, but merely inordinately vain? I do not know…. But I am most fearfully unhappy. That is all. I am so unhappy that I wish I was dead—yet I should be mad to die when I have not yet lived at all.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

roses are the only flowers at garden-parties; the only flowers that everybody is certain of knowing.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

I really only have Perfect Fun with myself. Other people won't stop and look at the things I want to look at or, if they do, they stop to please me or to humor me or to keep the peace.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

I think I hate snow, downright hate it. There is something stupefying in it, a kind of 'You must be worse before you're better,' and down it spins.

Outside the sky is light with stars

How hard it is to escape from places. However carefully one goes they hold you — you leave little bits of yourself fluttering on the fences — like rags and shreds of your very life.
