In my opinion it's a shame that there is so much work in the world.
William Faulkner
Be scared. You can't help that. But don't be afraid.
William Faulkner

If you could just ravel out into time. That would be nice. It would be nice if you could just ravel out into time

William Faulkner
Well, between Scotch and nothin', I suppose I'd take Scotch. It's the nearest thing to good moonshine I can find.
William Faulkner
...how false the most profound book turns out to be when applied to life.
William Faulkner
Really the writer doesn't want success. . . . He knows he has a short span of life, that the day will come when he must pass through the wall of oblivion, and he wants to leave a scratch on that wall - Kilroy was here - that somebody a hundred, or a thousand years later will see.
William Faulkner
Perhaps they were right putting love into books. Perhaps it could not live anywhere else.
William Faulkner
I draw no petty social lines. A man to me is a man, wherever I find him.
William Faulkner
Everything goes by the board: honor, pride, decency, security, happiness, all, to get the book written.
William Faulkner
A writer strives to express a universal truth in the way that rings the most bells in the shortest amount of time.
William Faulkner
How do our lives ravel out into the no-wind, no-sound, the weary gestures wearily recapitulant: echoes of old compulsions with no-hand on no-string: in sunset we fall into furious attitudes, dead gestures of dolls.
William Faulkner
Love doesn't die the men and women do.
William Faulkner
