“We can do whatever we wish to do provided our wish is strong enough. But the tremendous effort needed – one doesn’t always want to make it, does one? … But what else can be done? What’s the alternative? What do you most want to do? That’s what I have to keep asking myself in the face of difficulties.” ~ Katherine Mansfield (1888 – 1923)
Katherine Mansfield was a prominent writer of short fiction. She was greatly influenced by Anton Chekhov, sharing his warm humanity and attention to small details of human behavior. A free spirit, Katherine shunned many of the social conventions of her day.
