Willa Cather Quotes on Creation

3 quotes

  1. I tell you there is no such thing as creative hate!

  2. Desire is creation, is the magical element in that process. If there were an instrument by which to measure desire, one could foretell achievement.

  3. The higher processes are all processes of simplification. The novelist must learn to write, and then he must unlearn it; just as the modern painter learns to draw, and then learns when utterly to disregard his accomplishment, when to subordinate it to a higher and truer effect.
