More quotes by William Faulkner
She was the captain of her soul
William Faulkner

William Faulkner
Love doesn't die the men and women do.
William Faulkner
That's sad too, people cannot do anything that dreadful they cannot do anything very dreadful at all they cannot even remember tomorrow what seemed dreadful today
William Faulkner
In writing, you must kill all your darlings.
William Faulkner
It's always the idle habits you acquire which you will regret. Father said that. That Christ was not crucified: he was worn away by a minute clicking of little wheels. That had no sister.
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
...how false the most profound book turns out to be when applied to life.
William Faulkner
No battle is ever won ... victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.
William Faulkner
History is not was, it is.
William Faulkner

William Faulkner
Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do.
William Faulkner
Get it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but that's the only way you can do anything really good.
William Faulkner
There is something about jumping a horse over a fence, something that makes you feel good. Perhaps it's the risk, the gamble. In any event it's a thing I need.
William Faulkner
Poor man. Poor mankind.
William Faulkner
Memory believes before knowing remembers. Believes longer than recollects, longer than knowing even wonders.
William Faulkner
Let the writer take up surgery or bricklaying if he is interested in technique.
William Faulkner
If happy I can be I will, if suffer I must I can.
William Faulkner
Well, between Scotch and nothin', I suppose I'd take Scotch. It's the nearest thing to good moonshine I can find.
William Faulkner
