Willa Cather
“Nothing is far and nothing is near, if one desires. The world is little, people are little, human life is little. There is only one big thing--desire.”
Willa Cather, Works of Willa Cather. Alexander's Bridge, O Pioneers!, Song of the Lark, My Antonia, One of Ours, Stories & more

Mark Manson
“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”
Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

Willa Cather
“Something soft and wild and free, something that whispered to the ear on the pillow, lightened the heart, softly, softly picked the lock, slid the bolts, and released the prisoned spirit of man into the wind, into the blue and gold, into the morning, into the morning!”
Willa Cather, Death Comes for the Archbishop

D.H. Lawrence
“Truth does not lie beyond humanity, but is one of the products of the human mind and feeling. There is really nothing to fear. The motive of fear in religion is base, and must be left to the ancient worshippers of power, worship of Moloch. We do not worship power, in our enlightened souls. Power is degenerated to money and Napoleonic stupidity.”
D.H. Lawrence, Delphi Collected Works of D. H. Lawrence

Jan Morris
“There are people everywhere who form a Fourth World, or a diaspora of their own. They are the lordly ones! They come in all colours. They can be Christians or Hindus or Muslims or Jews or pagans or atheists. They can be young or old, men or women, soldiers or pacifists, rich or poor. They may be patriots, but they are never chauvinists. They share with each other, across all the nations, common values of humour and understanding. When you are among them you know you will not be mocked or resented, because they will not care about your race, your faith, your sex or your nationality, and they suffer fools if not gladly, at least sympathetically. They laugh easily. They are easily grateful. They are never mean. They are not inhibited by fashion, public opinion or political correctness. They are exiles in their own communities, because they are always in a minority, but they form a mighty nation, if they only knew it. It is the nation of nowhere, and I have come to think that its natural capital is Trieste.”
Jan Morris, Trieste And Meaning Of Nowhere
