More quotes by William Faulkner
All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection.
William Faulkner
The writer doesn't need economic freedom. All he needs is a pencil and some paper.
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
Necessity has a way of obliterating from our conduct various delicate scruples regarding honor and pride.
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
The past isn't over. It isn't even past.
William Faulkner
The only rule I have is to quit while it’s still hot. Never write yourself out. Always quit when it’s going good. Then it’s easier to take it up again. If you exhaust yourself, then you’ll get into a dead spell and you’ll have trouble with it.
William Faulkner
I took out my watch and listened to it clicking away, not knowing it couldn't even lie
William Faulkner
Be scared. You can't help that. But don't be afraid.
William Faulkner
The writer has three sources: imagination, observation, and experience
William Faulkner
Poor man. Poor mankind.
William Faulkner
The writer's only responsibility is to his art.
William Faulkner
Some days in late August at home are like this, the air thin and eager like this, with something in it sad and nostalgic and familiar.
William Faulkner
I'm bad and I'm going to hell, and I don't care. I'd rather be in hell than anywhere where you are.
William Faulkner
Memory believes before knowing remembers. Believes longer than recollects, longer than knowing even wonders.
William Faulkner
Don't bother just to be better than others. Try to be better than yourself.
William Faulkner
To the man grown the long crowded mile of his boyhood becomes less than the throw of a stone.
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
You like orchids?... Nasty things. Their flesh is too much like the flesh of men, their perfume has the rotten sweetness of corruption.
William Faulkner
Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all.
William Faulkner
