I sometimes wonder whether the act of surrender is not one of the greatest of all - the highest. It is one of the [most] difficult of all... You see it's so immensely complicated. It needs real humility and at the same time, an absolute belief in one's own essential freedom. It is an act of faith. At the last moments, like all great acts, it is pure risk. This is true for me as a human being and as a writer. Dear Heaven, how hard it is to let go - to step into the blue. And yet one's creative life depends on it and one desires to do nothing else.

Ne için buradasın?"
"Sinirden."
"Ah, mümkün değil, gerçekten inanamam buna."
"Tam anlamıyla doğru," dedim coşkum sönerken. Çelik gibi sinirleri olduğundan kuşku duyulmamasından daha tedirgin edici şey yoktur bir kadın için.
Bir şeyleri beklemek çok tehlikeli... Bir şeyleri beklersen, yalnızca senden daha daha uzaklaşır beklediklerin.
Katherine MansfieldMerak ediyorum, niçin acaba belli bir noktadan sonra insanları sanki iğrendiriyorum. Tuhaf, değil mi! Başlarda hoşlanıyorlar benden; beni alışılmadık ya da özgün buluyorlar; ama sonra onlardan hoşlandığımı göstermek - hatta ipucu vermek - istediğim anda sanki korkup yok olmaya başlıyorlar. Galiba daha sonra canımdan bezdirecek bu durum beni. Belki de onlara verecek çok fazla şeyim olduğunu anlıyorlar bir yolla. Belki onları korkutan da bu. Ah, birisine verilecek öyle sınırsız, sınırsız sevgim olduğunu hissediyorum ki - birisini öylesine sonsuzca, öylesine bütünüyle sevebilirim ki - onu kollayabilirim - korkunç olan her şeyi ondan uzak tutabilirim - bir şeylerin yapılmasını istedikleri her kez bunu yapmak için yaşadığımı hissettirebilirim. Ah bir hissedebilsem birisinin beni istediğini, birisine yararım dokunabileceğini, tümden başka bir kişiye dönüşürdüm.
Katherine MansfieldWhat I feel for you can’t be conveyed in phrasal combinations; It either screams out loud or stays painfully silent but I promise — it beats words. It beats worlds.

The ostrich burying its head in the sand does at any rate wish to convey the impression that its head is the most important part of it.

Katherine MansfieldWe are solitary creatures au fond. It hapens so rarely that one feels another understands. But when one does feel it, it's not only a joy, it's a help and comfort in dark moments.
Katherine MansfieldI could need you in many ways yet I don’t; I love you in many ways. It is peculiar. I need you only in the sense that you need yourself. I don’t expect anything to be mutually intense among us. I somehow like the thought of being the one who is feeling already more than one should. But I need you to believe that you are distinctively refreshing. And uncommon. And intriguing. It is an extreme oddity of mine but I need you to believe that. Call it a form of paranoia; I know that I am feeding your ego right now. Call it self-defense; I am putting in words your uniqueness in an attempt to explain to my own self why is it that I adore you. The truth is: You shine out like the sun shines out and you melt away all my intentions of a fatal, whatsoever, description regarding what is it exactly that you do. There is no exactness. See, it takes suns and miraculous imagery to slightly sketch you in words whereas you probably are as complex as an impressionist painting of impeccable quality. You continually provoke my blatantly awful poetical instincts; that is for sure.
Katherine MansfieldDark girls, fair girls were patting their hair, tying ribbons again, tucking handkerchiefs down the fronts of their bodices, smoothing marble-white gloves. And because they were all laughing it seemed to Leila that they were all lovely.
