Katherine Mansfield Quotes

Warm, eager, living life - to be rooted in life - to learn, to desire to know, to feel, to think, to act. That is what I want. And nothing less. That is what I must try for. … 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.
