Katherine Mansfield

"By health I mean the power to live a full, adult, living, breathing life in close contact with... the earth and the wonders thereof - the sea - the sun. "

"I am treating you as my friend, asking you to share my present minuses in the hope that I can ask you to share my future pluses. "

"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 for wallowing in. "

"Risk Risk anything 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. "
