More quotes by William Faulkner
Gettysburg. . . . You cant understand it. You would have to be born there.
William Faulkner
There is no such thing as was - only is. If was existed, there would be no grief or sorrow.
William Faulkner
Gough never pretended to perfection or to sainthood - well, hardly ever. Although when he set off the metal detector at airport security, he would blame his aura.
William Faulkner
An artist is a creature driven by demons. He don't know why they choose him and he's usually too busy to wonder why.
William Faulkner
Try to be better than yourself.
William Faulkner
Between grief and nothing, I will take grief.
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
I draw no petty social lines. A man to me is a man, wherever I find him.
William Faulkner
Some things you must always be unable to bear. Some things you must never stop refusing to bear. Injustice and outrage and dishonor and shame. No matter how young you are or how old you have got. Not for kudos and not for cash: your picture in the paper nor money in the back either. Just refuse to bear them.
William Faulkner
The end of wisdom is to dream high enough to lose the dream in the seeking of it.
William Faulkner
Don't be 'a writer'. Be writing.
William Faulkner
Men have been pacifists for every reason under the sun except to avoid danger and fighting.
William Faulkner
The last sound on the worthless earth will be two human beings trying to launch a homemade spaceship and already quarreling about where they are going next.
William Faulkner
The whiskey died away in time and was renewed and died again, but the street ran on. From that night the thousand streets ran as one street, with imperceptible corners and changes of scene.
William Faulkner
We must just stay awake and see evil done for a little while it's not always.
William Faulkner
A writer needs three things, experience, observation, and imagination, any two of which, at times any one of which, can supply the lack of the others.
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
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
They say that it is the practiced liar who can deceive. But so often the practiced and chronic liar deceives only himself it is the man who all his life has been selfconvicted of veracity whose lies find quickest credence.
William Faulkner
History is not was, it is.
William Faulkner
