More From Willa Cather
- "All the intelligence and talent in the world can’t make a singer. The voice is a wild thing. It can’t be bred in captivity. It is a sport, like the silver fox. It happens."

- "Only solitary men know the full joys of frienship. Others have their family; but to a solitary and an exile, his friends are everything."
