Prairie Life Quotes

“The names Dodge City and Wichita conjure visions of cowboys on horseback moving herds of cattle long distances, but as we found ourselves in the Blue Stem flint hills and tallgrass prairies we stopped the car and got out to rest. And with what felt like a cyclone trying to rip our ears off all we could see was …… nothing;

Big sky, big land, unceasing horizon and cold-blooded and ruthless prairie.”
― Karl Wiggins, Wrong Planet - Searching for your Tribe

“I am
Mavis Elizabeth Betterly.
I am
used to hard work.
I can
run a household better
than Mrs. Oblinger ever could.
What does it matter,
those things
that
hold me back?

What does it matter
when I make mistakes?
They don't
make me
who
I
am.”
― Caroline Starr Rose, May B.
