7th December: Willa Cather

The writer Willa Cather was born on this date in 1873. 10 Willa Cather quotes:


  1. Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen to one again.
  2. There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.
  3. The heart of another is a dark forest, always, no matter how close it has been to one's own.
  4. I shall not die of a cold. I shall die of having lived.
  5. I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do.
  6. The dead might as well try to speak to the living as the old to the young.
  7. It does not matter much whom we live with in this world, but it matters a great deal whom we dream of.
  8. The world is little, people are little, human life is little. There is only one big thing — desire.
  9. Where there is great love, there are always miracles.
  10. It's all very well to tell us to forgive our enemies; our enemies can never hurt us very much. But oh, what about forgiving our friends?
