Katherine Mansfield Quotes

The most thrilling day of the year, the first real day of Spring had enclosed its warm delicious beauty even to London eyes.

There’s a writer for you,” he said. “Knows everything and at the same time he knows nothing.” [narrator]It was my first inkling that he was a writer. And while I like writers—because if you ask a writer anything you usually get an answer—still it belittled him in my eyes. Writers aren’t people exactly.

Scott Fitzgerald
