Katherine Mansfield Quotes:

Ocupation: Writer

Life: October 14, 1888 - January 9, 1923

Birthday: October 14

Death: January 9

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.
