Quotes

There was a dull pang of regret because it was not the kiss of love which had inflamed her, because it was not love which had held this cup of life to her lips. Kate Chopin
Kate Chopin quote: "I would give up the unessential; I would give my money, I..."
I would give up the unessential; I would give my money, I would give my life for my children; but I wouldn't give myself. Kate Chopin
Edna felt depressed rather than soothed after leaving them. The little glimpse of domestic harmony which had been offered her, gave her no regret, no longing. It was not a condition of life which fitted her, and she could see in it but an apalling and hopeless ennui. She was moved by a kind of commiseration for Madame Ratignolle, - a pity for that colorless existence which never uplifted its possessor beyond the region of blind contentment, in which no moment of anguish ever visited her... Kate Chopin
I don't mind walking. I always feel so sorry for women who don't like to walk; they miss so much--so many rare little glimpses of life; and we women learn so little of life on the whole. Kate Chopin
She was moved by a kind of commiseration... a pity for that colorless existence which never uplifted its possessor beyond the region of blind contentment, in which no moment of anguish ever visited her soul, in which she would never have the taste of life's delirium. Kate Chopin
I'm tired," she uttered complainingly."I know you are."You don't know anything about it. Why should you know? I never was so exhausted in my life. But it isn't unpleasant. A thousand emotions have swept through me to-night. I don't comprehend half on them. Don't mind what I'm saying; I am just thinking aloud. Kate Chopin
There were days when she was unhappy, she did not know why,--when it did not seem worthwhile to be glad or sorry, to be alive or dead; when life appeared to her like a grotesque pandemonium and humanity like worms struggling blindly toward inevitable annihilation. Kate Chopin
It was not despair, but it seemed to her as if life were passing by, leaving its promises broken and unfulfilled. Yet there were other days when she listened, was led on and deceived by fresh promises which her youth had held out to her. Kate Chopin
At a very early period she had apprehended the instinctively the dual life - that outward existence which conforms, the inward life which questions. Kate Chopin
Kate Chopin quote: "Perhaps it is better to wake up after all, even to suffer,..."
Perhaps it is better to wake up after all, even to suffer, rather than to remain a dupe to illusions all one's life. Kate Chopin
