Text Quotes
From the time the Englishman's bones harden into bones at all, he makes his skeleton a flagstaff, and he early plants his feet like one who is to walk the world and the decks of all the seas  (Willa Cather Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) What was any art but an effort to make a sheath, a mold in which to imprison for a moment the shining, elusive element which is life itself  (Willa Cather Quotes) Art should simplify. That is very nearly the whole of the higher artistic process; finding what conventions of form and what detail one can do without and yet preserve the spirit of the whole  (Willa Cather Quotes) Freedom so often means that one isn’t needed anywhere  (Willa Cather Quotes) Oh, that’s the beauty of the rose, that it blossoms and dies  (Willa Cather Quotes) The prayers of all good people are good  (Willa Cather Quotes) Hunger is a powerful incentive to introspection  (Willa Cather Quotes) To note an artist’s limitations is but to define his talent  (Willa Cather Quotes) Success is less interesting than struggle. There is great pleasure in the effort  (Willa Cather Quotes) Life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose  (Willa Cather Quotes) A burnt dog dreads the fire  (Willa Cather Quotes) Art, it seems to me, should simplify  (Willa Cather Quotes) Most publishers, like most writers, are ruined by their successes  (Willa Cather Quotes) Loyal? As loyal as anyone who plays second fiddle ever is  (Willa Cather Quotes) Personal hatred and family affection are not incompatible; they often flourish and grow strong together  (Willa Cather Quotes) Even the wicked get worse than they deserve  (Willa Cather Quotes) New things are always ugly  (Willa Cather Quotes) A watch is the most essential part of a lecture  (Willa Cather Quotes) Youth, when it is hurt, likes to feel itself betrayed  (Willa Cather Quotes) If there were no girls like them in the world, there would be no poetry  (Willa Cather Quotes) Every artist makes herself born. You must bring the artist into the world yourself  (Willa Cather Quotes) An artist’s saddest secrets are those that have to do with his artistry  (Willa Cather Quotes) In this world people have to pay an extortionate price for any exceptional gift whatever  (Willa Cather Quotes) Miracles surround us at every turn if we but sharpen our perceptions of them  (Willa Cather Quotes) It has long been a tradition among novel writers that a book must end by everybody getting just what they wanted, or if the conventional happy ending was impossible, then it must be a tragedy in which one or both should die. In real life very few of us get what we want, our tragedies don’t kill us, but we go on living them year after year, carrying them with us like a scar on an old wound  (Willa Cather Quotes) If youth did not matter so much to itself, it would never have the heart to go on  (Willa Cather Quotes) 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 Quotes) I don’t want anyone reading my writing to think about style. I just want them to be in the story  (Willa Cather Quotes)
