More quotes by William Faulkner

William Faulkner

William Faulkner
I never promise a woman anything nor let her know what I'm going to give her. That's the only way to manage them. Always keep them guessing. If you cant think of any other way to surprise them, give them a bust in the jaw.
William Faulkner
The artists who want to be writers, read the reviews the artists who want to write, don't.
William Faulkner

William Faulkner
Did you ever have a sister? did you?
William Faulkner
Tell about the South. What's it like there. What do they do there. Why do they live there. Why do they live at all.
William Faulkner
Life is a process of preparing to be dead for a long time.
William Faulkner
It is assumed that anyone who makes a million dollars has a unique gift, though he might have made it off some useless gadget.
William Faulkner
Unless you're ashamed of yourself now and then, you're not honest
William Faulkner
For every Southern boy fourteen years old, not once but whenever he wants it, there is the instant when it's still not yet two o'clock on that July afternoon in 1863...
William Faulkner
The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.
William Faulkner
They all talked at once, their voices insistent and contradictory and impatient, making of unreality a possibility, then a probability, then an incontrovertible fact, as people will when their desires become words.
William Faulkner
An artist is completely amoral in that he will rob, beg, borrow, or steal from anybody and everybody to get the work done.
William Faulkner
You can't. You just have to.
William Faulkner
Though children can accept adults as adults, adults can never accept children as anything but adults too.
William Faulkner
A hack writer who would have been considered fourth rate in Europe, who tried out a few of the old proven 'sure-fire' literary skeletons with sufficient local color to intrigue the superficial and the lazy.
