“Men travel faster now, but I do not know if they go to better things.”
― Willa Cather,
“Old people, who have felt blows and toil and known the world’s hard hand, need, even more than children do, a woman’s tenderness.”
― Willa Cather, Death Comes for the Archbishop

“Yes, Sangre de Cristo; but no matter how scarlet the sunset, those red hills never became vermillion, but a more and more intense rose-carnelian; not the colour of living blood, the Bishop had often reflected, but the colour of the dried blood of saints and martyres preserved in old churches in Rome, which liquefies upon occasion.”
― Willa Cather, Death Comes for the Archbishop
