Willa Cather
The great fact was the land itself, which seemed to overwhelm the little beginnings of human society that struggled in its sombre wastes.
Willa Cather
Life began for me, when I ceased to admire and began to remember.
Willa Cather
life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose.
Willa Cather
If we never arrived anywhere, it did not matter. Between that earth and that sky i felt erased, blotted out. I did not say my prayers that night: here, i felt what would be would be.
Willa Cather
I shall not die of a cold. I shall die of having lived.
Willa Cather

If I had been tossed down blindfold on that red prairie, I should have known that it was spring.
Willa Cather
Give the people a new word and they think they have a new fact.
Willa Cather
The voice is a wild thing. It can't be bred in captivity.
Willa Cather

Willa Cather
Old men are like that, you know. It makes them feel important to think they are in love with somebody.
Willa Cather
Let people go on talking as they like, and we will go on living as we think best.
Willa Cather
People always think the bread of another country is better than their own.
Willa Cather
Artistic growth is, more than it is anything else, a refining of the sense of truthfulness.
Willa Cather
The irregular and intimate quality of things made entirely by the human hand.
Willa Cather
To fulfil the dreams of one's youth that is the best that can happen to a man. No worldly success can take the place of that.
Willa Cather
That is happiness to be dissolved into something complete and great.
Willa Cather
