More quotes by Willa Cather
Life began for me, when I ceased to admire and began to remember.
Willa Cather
When kindness has left people, even for a few moments, we become afraid of them as if their reason had left them. When it has left a place where we have always found it, it is like shipwreck we drop from security into something malevolent and bottomless.
Willa Cather
All Southern women wished of their menfolk was simply to be 'like Paris handsome and like Hector brave'.
Willa Cather
When the eyes of the flesh are shut, the eyes of the spirit are open.
Willa Cather
You must not begin to fret about the successes of cheap people. After all, what have they to do with you?
Willa Cather
A soup like this is not the work of one man. It is the result of a constantly refined tradition. There are nearly a thousand years of history in this soup.
Willa Cather
Art, it seems to me, should simplify finding what conventions of form and what detail one can do without and yet preserve the spirit of the whole - so that all that one has suppressed and cut away is there to the reader's consciousness as much as if it were in type on the page.
Willa Cather
The two friends stood for a few moments on the windy street corner, not speaking a word, as two travelers, who have lost their way, sometimes stand and admit their perplexity in silence. (O Pioneers!)
Willa Cather
The air was cool enough to make the warm sun pleasant on one's back and shoulders, and so clear that the eye could follow a hawk up and up, into the blazing blue depths of the sky.
Willa Cather
The end is nothing the road is all.
Willa Cather
I had killed a big snake. I was now a big fellow.
Willa Cather
The land belongs to the future.
Willa Cather
Every artist makes herself born. You must bring the artist into the world yourself.
Willa Cather
People have to snatch at happiness when they can, in this world. It is always easier to lose than to find.
Willa Cather
The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.
Willa Cather
The test of one's decency is how much of a fight one can put up after one has stopped caring, and after one has found out that one can never please the people they wanted to please.
Willa Cather
If youth did not matter so much to itself, it would never have the heart to go on.
Willa Cather
Only solitary men know the full joys of frienship. Others have their family but to a solitary and an exile, his friends are everything.
Willa Cather
In Haverford on the Platte the townspeople still talk of Lucy Gayheart.
Willa Cather
Sometimes I wonder why God ever trusts talent in the hands of women, they usually make such an infernal mess of it. I think He must do it as a sort of ghastly joke.
Willa Cather
