Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

They were just clear of the summer colony before the first sleeper turned over and lifted a drowsy head; their cry sounded in the dreams of little children... who lifted their arms to drag down, to cuddle the darling little woolly lambs of sleep. Then the first inhabitant appeared; it was the Burnells' cat Florrie, sitting on the gatepost, far too early as usual, looking for their milk-girl. When she saw the old sheep-dog she sprang up quickly, arched her back, drew in her — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Mamie Van Doren

Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield and I were so different from each other. I was doing very young movies, and Marilyn, who was ahead of me, was doing a lot of homogenized movies that weren't quite as wild as the ones I was doing. Jayne was more of a character of herself. — Mamie Van Doren

Mansfield Quotes By Stephen Mansfield

If a man lives for the glory of God, he stops looking for affirmation from other human beings after every good deed, a pat on the head every time he does his duty. Instead, he throws himself into his role unselfishly. He contents himself with knowing he is fulfilling his purpose in this world and pleasing the God who made him. — Stephen Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Jayne Mansfield

Every star knows you step on some toes to get where you're going - and some more after you get there. Nobody means to hurt anybody else, it just happens.

Mansfield Quotes By Stephen Mansfield

A banker can be as called and as pleasing to God as Billy Graham may be when he preaches. A brewer can serve as valuable a role in the kingdom of God as a missionary, a priest, or a pope. This is the truth of Christianity and this, too, is a core truth of the Guinness story. — Stephen Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Stephen Mansfield

Historians Will and Ariel Durant have written in The Story of Civilization: The Reformation that at the time of Luther, "a gallon of beer per day was the usual allowance per person, even for nuns." This may help to explain why beer figures so prominently in the life and writings of the great reformer. He was German, after all, and he lived at a time when beer was the European drink of choice. Moreover, having been freed from what he considered to be a narrow and life-draining religious legalism, he stepped into the world ready to enjoy its pleasures to the glory of God. For Luther, beer flowed best in a vibrant Christian life. — Stephen Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

What can you do if you are thirty and, turning the corner of your own street, you are overcome, suddenly, by a feeling of bliss - absolute bliss - as though you'd suddenly swallowed a bright piece of that late afternoon sun and it burned in your bosom, sending out a little shower of sparks into every particle into every finger and toe? ... — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Jayne Mansfield

Women, by nature, want to be dominated. — Jayne Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

I don't believe other people are ever as foolishly excited as I am while I'm working. How could they be? Writers would have to live in trees. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

But the more poetry one reads the more one longs to read! — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

But one day we shall be rich, and the next poor. One day we shall dine in a palace and the next we'll sit in a forest and toast mushrooms on a hatpin ... — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

I think I hate snow, downright hate it. There is something stupefying in it, a kind of 'You must be worse before you're better,' and down it spins. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By William Murray, 1st Earl Of Mansfield

It is iniquitous, unjust, and most impolitic to persecute for religion's sake. It is against natural religion, revealed religion, and sound policy. — William Murray, 1st Earl Of Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

To work - to work! It is such infinite delight to know that we still have the best things to do. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Jayne Mansfield

It is the most wonderful feeling in the world, knowing you are loved and wanted. — Jayne Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Jane Austen

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

What did garden-parties and baskets and lace frocks matter to him? He was far from all those things. He was wonderful, beautiful. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Stephen Mansfield

Honorable men don't settle for lives of regret. — Stephen Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

For the special thrilling quality of their friendship was in their complete surrender. Like two open cities in the midst of some vast plain their two minds lay open to each other. And it wasn't as if he rode into hers like a conqueror, armed to the eyebrows and seeing nothing but a gay silken flutter
nor did she enter his like a queen walking on soft petals. No, they were eager, serious travellers, absorbed in understanding what was to be seen and discovering what was hidden
making the most of this extraordinary absolute chance which made it possible for him to be utterly truthful to her and for her to be utterly sincere with him. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By William Murray, 1st Earl Of Mansfield

Humanism or atheism is a wonderful philosophy of life as long as you are big, strong, and between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five. But watch out if you are in a lifeboat and there are others who are younger, bigger, or smarter. — William Murray, 1st Earl Of Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Martin A. Danahay

Mansfield's performance is placed within a general anxiety caused by the proliferation of advertisements for melodramas that contained murder and violence as plot elements. This Victorian debate parallels present-day anxieties about the violence in Hollywood movies and the effect on the general population. — Martin A. Danahay

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

To long for everything: sorrow; to accept everything: joy. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

I feel I must live alone, alone, alone - with artists only to touch the door. Every artist cuts off his ear and nails it on the outside of the door for the others to shout into. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

I should like to have friends, I confess. I do not suppose I ever shall. But there have been moments when I have realized what friendship might be. Rare moments - but never forgotten. Friendship is a binding, as solemn as marriage. We take each other for life, through everything - forever. But it's not enough to say we will do it. I think, myself, it is pride which makes friendship most difficult. To submit, to bow down to the other is not easy, but it must be done if one is to really understand the being of the other. Friendship isn't merging. One doesn't thereupon become a shadow and one remain a substance. Yet, it is terribly solemn - frightening, even. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Jayne Mansfield

To establish yourself as an actress, you have to become well known. A girl just starting out, I would tell her to concentrate on acting, but she doesn't have to go around wearing blankets. — Jayne Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

Yes, my mother's death is a terrible sorrow to me. I feel - do you know what I mean - the silence of it so. She was more alive than anyone I have ever known. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

I am going to enjoy life in Paris I know. It is so human and there is something noble in the city ... It is a real city, old and fine and life plays in it for everybody to see. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Jayne Mansfield

We eat a lot of lean meat and fresh vegetables. — Jayne Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By John Marshall

My gift of John Marshall to the people of the United States was the proudest act of my life. There is no act of my life on which I reflect with more pleasure. I have given to my country a judge equal to a Hole, Holt, or a Mansfield. — John Marshall

Mansfield Quotes By William Murray, 1st Earl Of Mansfield

True popularity is not the popularity which is followed after, but the popularity which follows after. — William Murray, 1st Earl Of Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

I imagine I was always writing. Twaddle it was, too. But better far write twaddle or anything, anything, than nothing at all. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

This is not a letter but my arms about you for a brief moment. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Jayne Mansfield

War is a foolish, childish, animalistic, unthinking, unintelligent way of trying to accomplish a purpose. — Jayne Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

I am poor - obscure - just eighteen years of age - with a rapacious appetite for everything and principles as light as my purse. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Stephen Mansfield

Prophets (must) humbly accept the truth that they see through a glass darkly, that they know only in part. In other words, they make mistakes. Mature prophets urge everyone to who they prophesy to judge, test and compare with scripture everything they say. They are not offended when people are careful. — Stephen Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Jayne Mansfield

I don't particularly enjoy publicity, it seems to just follow me around. — Jayne Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Helen Keller

THE most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me — Helen Keller

Mansfield Quotes By Mike Mansfield

The crisis you have to worry about most is the one you don't see coming. — Mike Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Christopher Isherwood

Katherine Anne [Porter] treated them like favored nephews; she even cooked meals for them. Unfortunately, however, beneath Christopher's deference and flattery, there was a steadily growing aggression. By her implicit claim to be the equal of Katherine Mansfield and even Virginia Woolf, Katherine Anne had stirred up Christopher's basic literary snobbery. How dare she, he began to mutter to himself, this vain old frump, this dressed-up cook in her arty finery, how dare she presume like this! And he imagined a grotesque scene in which he had to introduce her and somehow explain her to Virginia, Morgan [Forster] and the others . . . [t]hus Katherine Anne became the first of an oddly assorted collection of people who, for various reasons, made up their minds that they would never see Christopher again. The others: Charlie Chaplin, Benjamin Britten, Cole Porter, Lincoln Kirstein. — Christopher Isherwood

Mansfield Quotes By Pia Zadora

I can't relate to Mansfield or Monroe. The only one I can relate to is Bardot. First of all, there's a certain physical similarity between us. Second of all, she was very strong
she didn't have that affected sexuality. — Pia Zadora

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

I couldn't keep myself in, and I asked her if she'd rather I ... didn't get married. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Susanna Clarke

I must confess that in my teens and twenties, I loved 'Mansfield Park' rather in spite of Fanny than because of her. Like Fanny's rich, sophisticated cousins, I didn't really get her. — Susanna Clarke

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

It's not your fault. Don't think that. It's just fate. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Maxine Mansfield

Leeky Shortz says "Live life like your arse is on fire! — Maxine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By William Murray, 1st Earl Of Mansfield

An estimated value is a precarious measure of justice, compared with the specific thing. — William Murray, 1st Earl Of Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

I'm a writer first and a woman after. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

Goodness gracious! - What's that? It's the clock striking! And here I've been keeping you awake. Oh, madam, you ought to have stopped me... Can I tuck in your feet? I always tuck in my lady's feet, every night, just the same. And she says, "Good night, Ellen. Sleep sound and wake early!" I don't know what I should do if she didn't say that, now. ... — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By William Murray, 1st Earl Of Mansfield

Rules of property ought to be generally known, and not to be left upon loose notes, which rather serve to confound principles, than to confirm them. — William Murray, 1st Earl Of Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

When she looked through the dark windows at the stars, they had long beams like wings ... — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Jayne Mansfield

I hope that I have given happiness to others. I hope I have given children to the world, and that I have made some kind of a mark for myself here. — Jayne Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Ari Shapiro

Mitt Romney's rally in Mansfield, Ohio, on Monday began the way every political event begins. 'Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance and our country's national anthem.' This is always an uncomfortable moment for me. While I sat at my laptop, most of the reporters around me stood and put their hands over their hearts. This time instead of just sitting and working, I tweeted what I was feeling: 'Ari_Shapiro: As a reporter I'm torn about joining in the pledge of allegiance/national anthem at rallies. I'm a rally observer, not a participant.' — Ari Shapiro

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

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 good for wallowing in. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

Now's the time when children's noses
All become as red as roses
And the colour of their faces
Makes me think of orchard places
Where the juicy apples grow,
And tomatoes in a row. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By William Murray, 1st Earl Of Mansfield

Let justice be done, though the heavens fall. — William Murray, 1st Earl Of Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

Perhaps it does not matter so very much what it is one loves in this world. But love something one must. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

Last night, there was a moment before you got into bed. You stood, quite naked, bending forward a little - talking. It was only for an instant. I saw you - I loved you so - loved your body with such tenderness - Ah my dear - And I am not thinking now of 'passion.' No, of that other thing that makes me feel that every inch of you is so precious to me. Your soft shoulders - your creamy warm skin, your ears, cold like shells are cold - your long legs and your feet that I love to clasp with my feet - the feeling of your belly - & your thin young back - Just below that bone that sticks out at the back of your neck you have a little mole. It is partly because we are young that I feel this tenderness - I love your youth - I could not bear that it should be touched even by a cold wind if I were the Lord. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

Wind moving through grass so that the grass quivers. This moves me with an emotion I don't even understand. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

Roo-coo-coo-coo! Roo-coo-coo-coo! — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Jane Austen

Whatever was wanted was hallooed for, and the servants hallooed out their excuses from the kitchen. The doors were in constant banging, the stairs were never at rest, nothing was done without a clatter, nobody sat still, and nobody could command attention when they spoke. In a review of the two houses, as they appeared to her before the end of a week, Fanny was tempted to apply to them Dr. Johnson's celebrated judgment as to matrimony and celibacy, and say, that though Mansfield Park might have some pains, Portsmouth could have no pleasures. — Jane Austen

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

The English language is damned difficult, but it's also damned rich, and so clear and bright that you can search out the darkest places with it. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

I think of you often. Especially in the evenings, when I am on the balcony and it's too dark to write or to do anything but wait for the stars. A time I love. One feels half disembodied, sitting like a shadow at the door of one's being while the dark tide rises. Then comes the moon, marvellously serene, and small stars, very merry for some reason of their own. It is so easy to forget, in a worldly life, to attend to these miracles. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Jayne Mansfield

You gotta have a body. — Jayne Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Stephen Mansfield

Every human soul is different. We are all shaped by both experience and design, by callings and the way our gifts mold our inner lives. Every soul has a bent, a drift, a way it wants to go. And when hard times come and the inner person writhes in torment, the soul reaches for what it thinks is anesthesia, for something to medicate the pain. — Stephen Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

Don't you think the stairs are a good place for reading letters? I do. One is somehow suspended. One is on neutral ground - not in one's own world nor in a strange one. They are an almost perfect meeting place. Oh Heavens! How stairs do fascinate me when I think of it. Waiting for people - sitting on strange stairs - hearing steps far above, watching the light playing by itself - hearing - far below a door, looking down into a kind of dim brightness, watching someone come up. But I could go on forever. Must put them in a story though! People come out of themselves on stairs - they issue forth, unprotected. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Harvey Mansfield

Political philosophy reaches for the best regime, a regime so good that it can hardly exist. Political science advances a theory - in fact, a number of theories - that promises to bring agreement and put an end to partisan dispute. — Harvey Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

There are always these moments in life when the limits of suffering are reached and we become heroes and heroines. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Jayne Mansfield

I want to earn my own way, I like having nice things but I've never accepted anything I haven't earned. — Jayne Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

I'd always rather be with people who loved me too little rather than with people who loved me too much. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By William Murray, 1st Earl Of Mansfield

Uncertain justice by a verdict is much better than certain injustice. — William Murray, 1st Earl Of Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Denise Mansfield

Friday 13th is only bad luck if YOU choose it to be. — Denise Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

A few moments later the back door of one of the bungalows opened, and a figure in a broad-striped bathing suit flung down the paddock, cleared the stile, rushed through the tussock grass into the hollow, staggered up the sandy hillock, and raced for dear life over the big porous stones, over the cold, wet pebbles, on to the hard sand that gleamed like oil. Splish-Splosh! Splish-Splosh! The water bubbled round his legs as Stanley Burnell waded out exulting. First man in as usual! He'd beaten them all again. And he swooped down to souse his head and neck. "Hail, — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Jane Austen

I purposefully abstain from dates on this occasion,that very one may be liberty to fix their own,aware that the cure of unconquerable passions,and the transfer of unchanging attachments,must vary much as to time in different people.
I only entreat every body to believe that exactly at the time when it was quite natural that it should be so, and not a week earlier,Edmund did cease to care about Miss Crawford, and become anxious to marry Fanny,as Fanny herself could desire. — Jane Austen

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

The most thrilling day of the year, the first real day of Spring had enclosed its warm delicious beauty even to London eyes. It had put a spangle in every colour and a new tone in every voice, and city folks walked as though they carried real bodies under their clothes with real live hearts pumping the still blood through. — Katherine Mansfield

Mansfield Quotes By Katherine Mansfield

England is merely an island of beef swimming in a warm gulf stream of gravy. — Katherine Mansfield
