To acknowledge the presence of fear is to give birth to failure.
Katherine Mansfield Quotes
Why haven’t I got a real ‘home’---a real life---why haven’t I got a Chinese nurse with green trousers and two babies who rush at me and clasp my knees? I’m not a girl---I’m a woman. I want things....all this love and joy that fights for outlet---and all this life drying up, like milk in an old breast.

About
Katherine Mansfield was a prominent modernist writer of short fiction who was born and brought up in colonial New Zealand and wrote under the pen name of Katherine Mansfield. When she was 19, Mansfield left New Zealand and settled in the United Kingdom, where she became a friend of modernist writers such as D.H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf. In 1917 she was diagnosed with extrapulmonary tuberculosis, which led to her death at the age of 34.
