Willa Cather Quotes


"Men are all right for friends, but as soon as you marry them they turn into cranky old fathers, even the wild ones. They begin to tell you what's sensible and what's foolish, and want you to stick at home all the time. I prefer to be foolish when I feel like it, and be accountable to nobody." ~from MY ANTONIA by Willa Cather

"Miracles seem to rest, not so much upon faces or voices or healing power coming suddenly near to us from far off, but upon our perceptions being made finer so that for a moment our eyes can see and our ears can hear that which is about us always." ~Willa Cather

"Sometimes I wonder why God ever trusts talent in the hands of women, they usually make such an infernal mess of it. I think He must do it as a sort of ghastly joke." ~Willa Cather (1873-1947)

"The summer moon hung full in the sky. For the time being it was the great fact of the world." ~Willa Cather

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

"There's nothing so dangerous as sitting still. You've only got one life, one youth, and you can let it slip through your fingers if you want to; nothing easier. Most people do that." ~from "The Bohemian Girl" (1912) by Willa Cather

"Where there is great love, there is always miracles." ~Willa Cather
