More quotes by William Faulkner
If I had not existed, someone else would have written me, Hemingway, Dostoyevsky, all of us.
William Faulkner
Sometimes I aint so sho who's got ere a right to say when a man is crazy and when he aint. Sometimes I think it aint none of us pure crazy and aint none of us pure sane until the balance of us talks him that-a-way. It's like it aint so much what a fellow does, but it's the way the majority of folks is looking at him when he does it.
William Faulkner
It always takes a man that never made much at any thing to tell you how to run your business, though. Like these college professors without a whole pair of socks to his name, telling you how to make a million in ten years, and a woman that couldn't even get a husband can always tell you how to raise a family.
William Faulkner
Try to be better than yourself.
William Faulkner
Necessity has a way of obliterating from our conduct various delicate scruples regarding honor and pride.
William Faulkner
I believe in God, God. God, I believe in God.
William Faulkner
The only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself
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
When my horse is running good, I don't stop to give him sugar.
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
The salvation of the world is in man's suffering.
William Faulkner
When ideas come, I write them when they don't come, I don't.
William Faulkner
Be scared. You can't help that. But don't be afraid. Ain't nothing in the woods going to hurt you unless you corner it, or it smells that you are afraid. A bear or a deer, too, has got to be scared of a coward the same as a brave man has got to be.
William Faulkner
A fellow gets to thinking. About all the sorrow and afflictions in this world how it's liable to strike anywhere, like lightning.
William Faulkner
Tomorrow night is nothing but one long sleepless wrestle with yesterday's omissions and regrets.
William Faulkner
I draw no petty social lines. A man to me is a man, wherever I find him.
William Faulkner
It seems impossible for a man to learn the value of money without first having to learn to waste it.
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
She clung to that which had robbed her, as people do.
William Faulkner
You can't beat women anyhow and that if you are wise or dislike trouble and uproar you don't even try to.
William Faulkner
