It is easy to pity when once o...

It is easy to pity when once one's vanity has been tickled.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

I've seen it before. There are...

I've seen it before. There are women who spread ruin through no fault of theirs, just by being too beautiful, too ful of life and love. They can't help it. Poeple come to them as people go to a warm fire in winter.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

One cannot divine nor forecast...

One cannot divine nor forecast the conditions that will make happiness; one only stumbles upon them by chance, in a lucky hour, at the world's end somewhere, and hold fast to the days...

Willa Cather 284 quotes

The two friends stood for a fe...

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 284 quotes

People live through such pain ...

People live through such pain only once. Pain comes againЂ'but it finds a tougher surface.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

I suppose there were moonless ...

I suppose there were moonless nights and dark ones with but a silver shaving and pale stars in the sky, but I remember them all as flooded with the rich indolence of a full moon.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

The idea of you is a part of m...

The idea of you is a part of my mind; you influence my likes and dislikes, all my tastes, hundreds of times when I don't realize it. You really are a part of me. In the course of twenty crowded years one parts with many illusions. I did not wish to lose the early ones. Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen again.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

The earth was warm under me, a...

The earth was warm under me, and warm as I crumbled it through my fingers...I kept as still as I could. Nothing happened. I did not expect anything to happen. I was something that lay under the sun and felt it, like the pumpkins, and I did not want to be anything more. I was entirely happy. Perhaps we feel like that when we die and become a part of something entire, whether it is sun and air, or goodness and knowledge. At any rate, that is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to o

Willa Cather 284 quotes

Yet the summer which was to ch...

Yet the summer which was to change everything was coming nearer every day. When boys and girls are growing up, life can't stand still, not even in the quietest of country towns; and they have to grow up, whether they will or no. That is what their elders are always forgetting.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

Look at my papa here; he's bee...

Look at my papa here; he's been dead all these years, and yet he is more real to me than almost anybody else. He never goes out of my life. I talk to him and consult him all the time. The older I grow, the better I know him and the more I understand him.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

Ah! the terror and the delight...

Ah! the terror and the delight of that moment when first we fear ourselves! Until then we have not lived.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

We all like people who do thin...

We all like people who do things, even if we only see their faces on cigar-box lids.

Art, it seems to me, should simplify.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

Thea was still under the belie...

Thea was still under the belief that public opinion could be placated; that if you clucked often enough, the hens would mistake you for one of themselves.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

No nation has ever produced gr...

No nation has ever produced great art that has not made a high art of cookery, because art appeals primarily to the senses.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

Many people seem to think that...

Many people seem to think that art is a luxury to be imported and tacked on to life. Art springs out of the very stuff that life is made of. Most of our young authors start to write a story and make a few observations from nature to add local color. The results are invariably false and hollow. Art must spring out of the fullness and richness of life.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

The sincerity of feeling that is possible between a writer and a reader is one of the finest things I know.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

In a few hours one could cover...

In a few hours one could cover that incalculable distance; from the winter country and homely neighbours, to the city where the air trembled like a tuning-fork with unimaginable possibilities.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

[Dawn] is always such a forgiv...

[Dawn] is always such a forgiving time. When that first cold, bright streak comes over the water, it's as if all our sins were pardoned; as if the sky leaned over the earth and kissed it and gave it absolution.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

Elsewhere the sky is the roof ...

Elsewhere the sky is the roof of the world; but here the earth was the floor of the sky.
