The Wisdom of Willa Cather

May 13, 2016
By Paulette Beete
Success is never so interesting as struggle not even to the successful. Willa Cather
Every artist makes himself born. It is very much harder than the other time, and longer.
The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is. Willa Cather
What was any art but a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining elusive element which is life itself... Willa Cather
There are only 2 or 3 human stories and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before. Willa Cather
