More quotes by William Faulkner
We have all heard what we wanted to hear! Truth that sounds right to our ears!
William Faulkner
She clung to that which had robbed her, as people do.
William Faulkner
It always takes a man that never made much at any thing to tell you how to run your business, though. Like these college professors without a whole pair of socks to his name, telling you how to make a million in ten years, and a woman that couldn't even get a husband can always tell you how to raise a family.
William Faulkner
Some things you must always be unable to bear. Some things you must never stop refusing to bear. Injustice and outrage and dishonor and shame. No matter how young you are or how old you have got. Not for kudos and not for cash: your picture in the paper nor money in the back either. Just refuse to bear them.
William Faulkner
Read, read read. Read everything.
William Faulkner
It's not when you realize that nothing can help you — religion, pride, anything — it's when you realize that you don't need any aid.
William Faulkner
If happy I can be I will, if suffer I must I can.
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
Success is feminine and like a woman, if you cringe before her, she will override you
William Faulkner
What's wrong with this world is, it's not finished yet. It is not completed to that point where man can put his final signature to the job and say, It is finished. We made it, and it works.
William Faulkner
That which is destroying the Church is not the outward groping of those within it nor the inward groping of those without, but the professionals who control it and who have removed the bells from its steeples.
William Faulkner
The artist doesn't have time to listen to the critics. The ones who want to be writers read the reviews, the ones who want to write don't have the time to read reviews.
William Faulkner
In a strange room you must empty yourself for sleep. And before you are emptied for sleep, what are you. And when you are emptied for sleep, what are you. And when you are emptied for sleep you are not. And when you are filled with sleep, you never were. I don't know what I am. I don't know if I am or not.
William Faulkner
No battle is ever won ... victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.
William Faulkner
Caddy got the box and set it on the floor and opened it. It was full of stars. When I was still, they were still. When I moved, they glinted and sparkled. I hushed.
William Faulkner
That's sad too, people cannot do anything that dreadful they cannot do anything very dreadful at all they cannot even remember tomorrow what seemed dreadful today
William Faulkner
In every writer there is a certain amount of the scavenger.
William Faulkner
It takes two people to make you, and one people to die. That's how the world is going to end.
William Faulkner
It's always the idle habits you acquire which you will regret.
William Faulkner
I decline to accept the end of man.
William Faulkner
