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.

The truth is friendship is every bit as sacred and eternal as marriage.

Now's the time when children's noses
All become as red as roses
And the colour of their faces
Makes me think of orchard places
Where the juicy apples grow,
And tomatoes in a row.

My love for you tonight is so ...

My love for you tonight is so deep and tender that it seems to be outside myself as well.

You might drop your heart into me and you'd never hear it touch bottom.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

Every time one leaves anywhere...

Every time one leaves anywhere, something precious, which ought not to be killed, is left to die.

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

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

Why it should be such an effor...

Why it should be such an effort to write to the people one loves I can't imagine. It's none at all to write to those who don't really count.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

Letters are the real curse of ...

Letters are the real curse of my existence. I hate to write them: I have to. If I don't, there they are - the great guilty gates barring my way.

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

I don't believe other people are ever as foolishly excited as I am while I'm working. How could they be? Writers would have to live in trees.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

we cling to our last pleasures as the tree clings to its last leaves.

But the more poetry one reads ...

But the more poetry one reads the more one longs to read!

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

What happiness it is to listen...

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

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.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

there does seem to me something sad in life. It is hard to say what it is. I don't mean the sorrow that we all know, like illness and poverty and death. No, it is something different. It is there, deep down, deep down, part of one, like one's breathing.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

September is different from al...

September is different from all other months. It is more magical. I feel the strange chemical change in the earth which produces mushrooms is the cause, too, of the extra 'life' in the air - a resilience, a sparkle.

Katherine Mansfield 149 quotes

It is strange that there are times when I feel the stars are not at all solemn: they are secretly gay.
