If there was anything at all in the Book, anything of hope and peace for His blind and bewildered spawn which He had chosen above all others to offer immortality, THOU SHALT NOT KILL must be it.

More quotes by William Faulkner
...and you don't even have to sleep alone, you don't even have to sleep at all and so, all you have to do is show the stick to the dog now and then and say, 'Thank God for nothing.'
William Faulkner
There is no such thing as a bad whisky. Some whiskies just happen to be better than others.
William Faulkner
I listen to the voices.
William Faulkner
A dream is not a very safe thing to be near... I know I had one once. It's like a loaded pistol with a hair trigger: if it stays alive long enough, somebody is going to be hurt. But if it's a good dream, it's worth it.
William Faulkner
As long as I live under the capitalistic system I expect to have my life influenced by the demands of moneyed people. But I will be damned if I propose to be at the beck and call of every itinerant scoundrel who has two cents to invest in a postage stamp. This, sir, is my resignation.
William Faulkner
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means.
William Faulkner
She clung to that which had robbed her, as people do.
William Faulkner
Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world...would do this, it would change the earth.
William Faulkner
Love in the young requires as little of hope as of desire to feed upon.
William Faulkner
When my horse is running good, I don't stop to give him sugar.
William Faulkner
The reason I don't like interviews is that I seem to react violently to personal questions. If the questions are about the work, I try to answer them. When they are about me, I may answer or I may not, but even if I do, if the same question is asked tomorrow, the answer may be different.
William Faulkner
Menfolks listens to somebody because of what he says. Women don't. They don't care what he said. They listens because of what he is.
William Faulkner
I think the serious things really are the things that make for happiness--people and things that are compatible, love.... So many people are content just to sit around and talk about them instead of getting out and attaining them. As if life were a joke of some kind.
William Faulkner
Living is one constant and perpetual instant when the arras-veil before what-is-to-be hangs docile and even glad to the lightest naked thrust if we had dared, were brave enough (not wise enough: no wisdom needed here) to make the rending gash.
William Faulkner
I am trying to say it all in one sentence, between one cap and one period.
William Faulkner
We have all heard what we wanted to hear! Truth that sounds right to our ears!
William Faulkner
Had Passion and Purity never encountered, Tenderness had never come into the world.
William Faulkner
Idleness breeds our better virtues.
William Faulkner
Between grief and nothing, I will take grief.
William Faulkner
It feels almost soft, like something to be caressed. Only gold feels that way.
William Faulkner
