More quotes by William Faulkner
I don't care much for facts, am not much interested in them, you can't stand a fact up, you've got to prop it up, and when you move to one side a little and look at it from that angle, it's not thick enough to cast a shadow in that direction.
William Faulkner
When my horse is running good, I don't stop to give him sugar.
William Faulkner
We cannot choose freedom established on a hierarchy of degrees of freedom, on a caste system of equality like military rank. We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.
William Faulkner
People need trouble - a little frustration to sharpen the spirit on, toughen it.
William Faulkner
Be scared. You can't help that. But don't be afraid. Ain't nothing in the woods going to hurt you unless you corner it, or it smells that you are afraid. A bear or a deer, too, has got to be scared of a coward the same as a brave man has got to be.
William Faulkner
When the switch fell I could feel it upon my flesh when it welted and ridged it was my blood that ran, and I would think with each blow of the switch: Now you are aware of me! Now I am something in your secret and selfish life, who have marked your blood with my own for ever and ever.
William Faulkner
Whatever its symbol - cross or crescent or whatever - that symbol is man's reminder of his duty inside the human race.
William Faulkner
I took out my watch and listened to it clicking away, not knowing it couldn't even lie
William Faulkner
We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.
William Faulkner
I will never lie again.
William Faulkner
Memory believes before knowing remembers. Believes longer than recollects, longer than knowing even wonders.
William Faulkner
Our most treasured family heirloom are our sweet family memories. The past is never dead, it is not even past.
William Faulkner
The past isn't over. It isn't even past.
William Faulkner
A pair of jaybirds came up from nowhere, whirled up on the blast like gaudy scraps of cloth or paper and lodged in the mulberries, where they swung in raucous tilt and recover, screaming into the wind that ripped their harsh cries onward and away like scraps of paper or of cloth in turn.
William Faulkner
It's terrible to be young. It's terrible. Terrible
William Faulkner
Necessity has a way of obliterating from our conduct various delicate scruples regarding honor and pride.
William Faulkner
The writer's only responsibility is to his art...If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate the 'Ode on a Grecian Urn' is worth any number of old ladies.
William Faulkner
No battle is ever won ... victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.
William Faulkner
A mule will labor ten years willingly and patiently for you, for the privilege of kicking you once.
William Faulkner
We have all heard what we wanted to hear! Truth that sounds right to our ears!
William Faulkner
