The land and all its dreariness could never close in on you. You had only to look at the lake, and you knew you would soon be free.
Willa Cather

Willa Cather
In this world people have to pay an extortionate price for any exceptional gift whatever.
Willa Cather
We all like people who do things, even if we only see their faces on cigar-box lids.
Willa Cather
In great misfortunes, people want to be alone. They have a right to be. And the misfortunes that occur within one are the greatest. Surely the saddest thing in the world is falling out of love--if once one has ever fallen in.
Willa Cather
