William Faulkner
...thinking as he had thought before and would think again and as every other man has thought: how false the most profound book turns out to be when applied to life.
William Faulkner
Riches is nothing in the face of the Lord, for He can see into the heart.
William Faulkner
People need trouble - a little frustration to sharpen the spirit on, toughen it.
William Faulkner
Maybe the only thing worse than having to give gratitude constantlyall the time, is having to accept it.
William Faulkner
