More quotes by William Faulkner
Even sound seemed to fail in this air, like the air was worn out with carrying sounds so long.
William Faulkner
A man's moral conscience is the curse he had to accept from the gods in order to gain from them the right to dream.
William Faulkner
It's always the idle habits you acquire which you will regret.
William Faulkner
Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.
William Faulkner
Women do have an affinity for evil, for believing that no woman is to be trusted, but that some men are too innocent to protect themselves.
William Faulkner
Don't be 'a writer'. Be writing.
William Faulkner
People everywhere are about the same, but ... it did seem that in a small town, where evil is harder to accomplish, where opportunities for privacy are scarcer, that people can invent more of it in other people's names. Because that was all it required: that idea, that single idle word blown from mind to mind.
William Faulkner
Maybe times are never strange to women: it is just one continuous monotonous thing full of the repeated follies of their menfolks.
William Faulkner
Though children can accept adults as adults, adults can never accept children as anything but adults too.
William Faulkner
The writer has three sources: imagination, observation, and experience
William Faulkner
Don't do what you can do - try what you can't do.
William Faulkner
To understand the world, you must first understand a place like Mississippi.
William Faulkner
I do not rewrite unless I am absolutely sure that I can express the material better if I do rewrite it.
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
I have found that the greatest help in meeting any problem with decency and self-respect and whatever courage is demanded, is to know where you yourself stand. That is, to have in words what you believe and are acting from.
William Faulkner
It's because I'm alone.. If I could just feel it, it would be different, because I would not be alone. But if I were not alone, everybody would know it. And he could do so much for me, and then I would not be alone. Then I could be all right alone.
William Faulkner
The saddest thing about love, Joe, is that not only the love cannot last forever, but even the heartbreak is soon forgotten.
William Faulkner
So vast, so limitless in capacity is man's imagination to disperse and burn away the rubble-dross of fact and probability, leaving only truth and dream.
William Faulkner
Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain.
William Faulkner
And sure enough, even waiting will end...if you can just wait long enough.
William Faulkner
