You must not begin to fret about the successes of cheap people. After all, what have they to do with you?

Willa Cather 284 quotes

Every fine story must leave i...

Every fine story must leave in the mind of the sensitive reader an intangible residuum of pleasure, a cadence, a quality of voice that is exclusively the writer's own, individual, unique.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

Success is less interesting than struggle. There is great pleasure in the effort.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

Too much detail is apt, like ...

Too much detail is apt, like any other form of extravagance, to become slightly vulgar.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

Your vivid, exciting companionship in the office must not be your audience, you must find your own quiet center of life, and write from that to the world.

Oh, the Germans classify, but the French arrange.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

If [the writer] achieves anyt...

If [the writer] achieves anything noble, anything enduring, it must be by giving himself absolutely to his material. And this gift of sympathy is his great gift; is the fine thing in him that alone can make his work fine.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

A soup like this is not the w...

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 284 quotes

Now I understood that the sam...

Now I understood that the same road was to bring us together again. Whatever we had missed, we possessed together the precious, the incommunicable past.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

If we never arrived anywhere, ...

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.

Every artist makes herself born. You must bring the artist into the world yourself.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

In New Mexico, he always awoke...

In New Mexico, he always awoke a young man, not until he arose and began to shave did he realize that he was growing older. His first consciousness was a sense of the light dry wind blowing in through the windows, with the fragrance of hot sun and sage-brush and sweet clover; a wind that made one's body feel light and one's heart cry 'To-day, to-day,' like a child's.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

Every fine story must leave in the mind of the sensitive reader an intangible residuum of pleasure, a cadence, a quality of voice that is exclusively the writer's own, individual, unique.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

There seemed to be nothing to ...

There seemed to be nothing to see; no fences, no creeks or trees, no hills or fields. If there was a road, I could not make it out in the faint starlight. There was nothing but land: not a country at all, but the material out of which countries are made.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

Freedom so often means that on...

Freedom so often means that one isn't needed anywhere. Here you are an individual, you have a background of your own, you would be missed. But off there in the cities there are thousands of rolling stones like me. We are all alike; we have no ties, we know nobody, we own nothing.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

From two ears that had grown s...

From two ears that had grown side by side, the grains of one shot up joyfully into the light, projecting themselves into the future, and the grains from the other lay still in the earth and rotted; and nobody knew why.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

Nothing mattered ... but writing books, and living the kind of life that made it possible to write them.

Let people go on talking as they like, and we will go on living as we think best.

Willa Cather 284 quotes

In other searchings it might be the object of the quest that brought satisfaction, or it might be something incidental that one got on the way; but in religion, desire was fulfilment, it was the seeking itself that rewarded.

People always think the bread of another country is better than their own.
