Top 5 quotes from Willa Sibert Cather
"Where there is great love, there are always miracles."
"Writing ought either to be the manufacture of stories for which there is a market demand -- a business as safe and commendable as making soap or breakfast foods -- or it should be an art, which is always a search for something for which there is no market demand, something new and untried, where the values are intrinsic and have nothing to do with standardized values."
"That is happiness: to be dissolved into something complete and great."
"I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do."
"The miracles of the church seem to me to rest not so much upon faces or voices or healing power coming suddenly near to us from afar off, but upon our perceptions being made finer, so that for a moment our eyes can see and our ears can hear what is there about us always."
