Mansfield/climate

Famous quotes containing the words mansfield and/or climate:

“Were we positive, eager, real—alive? No, we were not. We were a nothingness shot with gleams of what might be.”
—Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923)

“Nobody is so constituted as to be able to live everywhere and anywhere; and he who has great duties to perform, which lay claim to all his strength, has, in this respect, a very limited choice. The influence of climate upon the bodily functions ... extends so far, that a blunder in the choice of locality and climate is able not only to alienate a man from his actual duty, but also to withhold it from him altogether, so that he never even comes face to face with it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
