Katherine
Mansfield was born on this date in 1888. Here are 10 quotes:
- Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.
- I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.
- Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different.
- I imagine I was always writing. Twaddle it was too. But better far write twaddle or anything, anything, than nothing at all.
- I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
- The pleasure of all reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books.
- It is of immense importance to learn to laugh at ourselves.
- I'm a writer first and a woman after.
- Would you not like to try all sorts of lives - one is so very small - but that is the satisfaction of writing - one can impersonate so many people.
- Life never becomes a habit to me. It's always a marvel.
