Quote by -Kate Chopin

Quote by -Kate Chopin
Well, for instance, when I left her today, she put her arms around me and felt my shoulder blades, to see if my wings were strong, she said.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
I would give up the unessential; I would give my money, I would give my life for my children; but I wouldn't give myself.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
But the beginning of things, of a world especially, is necessarily vague, tangled, chaotic, and exceedingly disturbing. How few of us ever emerge from such beginning! How many souls perish in its tumult!

She had all her life long been accustomed to harbor thoughts and emotions which never voiced themselves.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
Who can tell what metals the gods use in forging the subtle bond which we call sympathy, which we might as well call love.
Quote by -Kate Chopin

Quote by -Kate Chopin
And moreover, to succeed, the artist must possess the courageous soul . . . the brave soul. The soul that dares and defies.

To be an artist includes much; one must possess many gift -absolute gifts- which have not been acquired by one's effort. And, moreover, to succeed, the artist must possess the courageous soul.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
Does he write to you? Never a line. Does he send you a message? Never a word. It is because he loves you, poor fool, and is trying to forget you, since you are not free to listen to him or to belong to him.

When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease - of the joy that kills.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
One who awakens gradually out of a dream, a delicious, grotesque, impossible dream, to feel again the realities pressing into her soul

She's got some sort of notion in her head concerning the eternal rights of women.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
The city atmosphere certainly has improved her. Some way she doesn't seem like the same woman.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
There was no despondency when she fell asleep that night; nor was there hope when she awoke in the morning.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
At a very early period she had apprehended the instinctively the dual life - that outward existence which conforms, the inward life which questions.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
There was a dull pang of regret because it was not the kiss of love which had inflamed her, because it was not love which had held this cup of life to her lips.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
A certain light was beginning to dawn dimly within her,—the light which, showing the way, forbids it.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
We shall be everything to each other. Nothing else shall be of any consequence.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
The past was nothing to her; offered no lesson which she was willing to heed. The future was a mystery which she never attempted to penetrate. The present alone was significant.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
She missed him the days when some pretext served to take him away from her, just as one misses the sun on a cloudy day without having thought much about the sun when it was shining.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
The bird that would soar above the level plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
Even as a child she had lived her own small life within herself. At a very early period she had apprehended instinctively the dual life - that outward existence which conforms, the inward life which questions.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
She was becoming herself and daily casting aside that fictitious self which we assume like a garment with which to appear before the world.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
But whatever came, she had resolved never again to belong to another than herself.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
The bird that would soar above the level plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings. It is a sad spectacle to see the weaklings bruised, exhausted, fluttering back to earth.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
The voice of the sea is seductive, never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander in abysses of solitude.
Quote by -Kate Chopin
Perhaps it is better to wake up after all, even to suffer, rather than to remain a dupe to illusions all one's life.
