More quotes by William Faulkner
Hollywood is a place where a man can get stabbed in the back while climbing a ladder.
William Faulkner
Even sound seemed to fail in this air, like the air was worn out with carrying sounds so long.
William Faulkner
Marriage is long enough to have plenty of room for time behind it.
William Faulkner
There are some things for which three words are three too many, and three thousand words that many words too less.
William Faulkner
It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking.
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
Let the writer take up surgery or bricklaying if he is interested in technique.
William Faulkner
You're looking, sir, at a very dull survivor of a very gaudy life. Crippled, paralyzed in both legs. Very little I can eat, and my sleep is so near waking that it's hardly worth the name. I seem to exist largely on heat, like a newborn spider.
William Faulkner
It begins with a character, usually, and once he stands up on his feet and begins to move, all I can do is trot along behind him with a paper and pencil trying to keep up long enough to put down what he says and does.
William Faulkner
There is no such thing as a bad whisky. Some whiskies just happen to be better than others.
William Faulkner
Be scared. You can't help that. But don't be afraid.
William Faulkner
And even a liar can be scared into telling the truth, same as honest man can be tortured into telling a lie.
William Faulkner
Nothing can destroy the good writer. The only thing that can alter the good writer is death. Good ones don't have time to bother with success or getting rich.
William Faulkner
All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection.
William Faulkner
ingenuity was apparently given man in order that he may supply himself in crisis with shapes and sounds with which to guard himself from truth.
William Faulkner
You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.
William Faulkner
Every man has a different idea of what's beautiful, and it's best to take the gesture, the shadow of the branch, and let the mind create the tree.
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
The poets are almost always wrong about the facts... That's because they are not really interested in facts: only in truth...
William Faulkner
We have all heard what we wanted to hear! Truth that sounds right to our ears!
William Faulkner
