Quotes

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
The man he was now, the personality his friends knew, had begun to grow strong during adolescence, during the years when he was always consciously or unconsciously conjugating the verb "to love"-- in society and solitude, with people, with books, with the sky and open country, in the lonesomeness of crowded city streets. Willa Cather
The land belongs to the future, Carl; that's the way it seems to me. How many of the names on the county clerk's plat will be there in fifty years? I might as well try to will the sunset over there to my brother's children. We come and go, but the land is always here. And the people who love it and understand it are the people who own it--for a little while. Willa Cather
Willa Cather quote: "The world is little, people are little, human life is little...."
The world is little, people are little, human life is little. There is only one big thing? desire. Willa Cather
Money and office and success are the consolations of impotence. Fortune turns kind to such solid people and lets them suck their bone in peace. She flecks her whip upon flesh that is more alive, upon that stream of hungry boys and girls who tramp the streets of every city, recognizable by their pride and discontent, who are the Future, and who possess the treasure of creative power. Willa Cather
Alexandra sighed. "I have a feeling that if you go away, you will not come back. Something will happen to one of us, or to both. People have to snatch at happiness when they can, in this world. It is always easier to lose than to find. What I have is yours if you care enough about me to take it. Willa Cather
Willa Cather quote: "People have to snatch at happiness when they can, in this..."
People have to snatch at happiness when they can, in this world. It is always easier to lose than to find. Willa Cather
He had missed the deepest of all companionships, a relation with the earth itself, with a countryside and a people. That relationship he knew cannot be gone after and found; it must be long and deliberate, unconscious. It must, indeed, be a way of living. Willa Cather
Willa Cather quote: "Prayers said by good people are always good prayers"
Prayers said by good people are always good prayers 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
Some people's lives are affected by what happens to their person or property, but for others fate is what happens to their feelings and their thoughts--that and nothing more. Willa Cather
Willa Cather quote: "People live through such pain only once. Pain comes again—but..."
People live through such pain only once. Pain comes again—but it finds a tougher surface. Willa Cather
Willa Cather quote: "Give the people a new word and they think they have a new fact."
Give the people a new word and they think they have a new fact. Willa Cather
When people ask me if it has been a hard or easy road, I always answer with the same quotation, the end is nothing, the road is all. Willa Cather Willa Cather
