Katherine Mansfield

Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change.

Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only for wallowing in.

The more you are motivated by love, the more fearless and free your actions will be.

Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different. Life would undergo a change of appearance because we ourselves had undergone a change of attitude.

Regret is an appalling waste of energy. You can't build on it it's only good for wallowing in.

The mind I love must have wild places, a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in the heavy grass, an overgrown little wood, the chance of a snake or two, a pool that nobody's fathomed the depth of, and paths threaded with flowers planted by the mind.

I am treating you as my friend, asking you to share my present minuses in the hope that I can ask you to share my future pluses.

If only one could tell true love from false love as one can tell mushrooms from toadstools.
