The trouble is you almost hav...

The trouble is you almost have to marry a man before you can find out the sort of wife he needs; and usually it's exactly the sort you are not.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

The world is little, people a...

The world is little, people are little, human life is little. There is only one big thing — desire.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

There was nothing but land; n...

There was nothing but land; not a country at all, but the material out of which countries are made.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

The sky was a midnight-blue, ...

The sky was a midnight-blue, like warm, deep, blue water, and the moon seemed to lie on it like a water-lily, floating forward with an invisible current.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

Imagination, which is a quali...

Imagination, which is a quality writers must have, does not mean the ability to weave pretty stories out of nothing. In the right sense, imagination is a response to what is going on — a sensitiveness to which outside things appeal. It is a composition of sympathy and observation.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

People live through such pain...

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

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.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

When the eyes of the flesh ar...

When the eyes of the flesh are shut, the eyes of the spirit are open.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

Ugly accidents happen . . . a...

Ugly accidents happen . . . always have and always will. But the failures are swept back into the pile and forgotten. They don`t leave any lasting scar in the world, and they don`t affect the future. The things that last are the good things. The people who forge ahead and do something, they really count.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

To fulfil the dreams of one's...

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 284 quotes

If you don't keep and guard a...

If you don't keep and guard and mature your force, and above all, have time and quiet to perfect your work, you will be writing things not much better than you did five years ago.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

There is something frank and ...

There is something frank and joyous and young in the open face of the country. It gives itself ungrudgingly to the moods of the season, holding nothing back.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

There are only two or three h...

There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

The condition every art requi...

The condition every art requires is, not so much freedom from restriction, as freedom from adulteration and from the intrusion of foreign matter.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

There are some things you lea...

There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

The heart of another is a dar...

The heart of another is a dark forest, always, no matter how close it has been to one's own.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

When kindness has left people...

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 284 quotes

Paris is a hard place to leav...

Paris is a hard place to leave, even when it rains incessantly and one coughs continually from the dampness.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

To note an artist's limitatio...

To note an artist's limitations is but to define his talent. A reporter can write equally well about everything that is presented to his view, but a creative writer can do his best only with what lies within the range and character of his deepest sympathies.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

Every artist makes himself bo...

Every artist makes himself born. It is very much harder than the other time, and longer.
