Today is the birthday of Willa Sibert Cather (December 7, 1873 – April 24, 1947), author. She was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1923 for her work, One of Ours (1922)."Where there is great love, there are always miracles!"

"When kindness has left people, even for a few moments, we become afraid of them as if their reason had left them. When it has left a place where we have always found it, it is like shipwreck; we drop from security into something malevolent and bottomless."
- Willa Cather
"There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm."
- Willa Cather
"Desire is creation, is the magical element in that process. If there were an instrument by which to measure desire, one could foretell achievement."

"Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen to one again."
- Willa Cather
"It does not matter much whom we live with in this world, but it matters a great deal whom we dream of."

"That is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep."
- Willa Cather
