More quotes by William Faulkner
Purity is a negative state and therefore contrary to nature.
William Faulkner
Who gathers the withered rose?
William Faulkner
I say money has no value it's just the way you spend it.
William Faulkner
A mule will labor ten years willingly and patiently for you, for the privilege of kicking you once.
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
If there was anything at all in the Book, anything of hope and peace for His blind and bewildered spawn which He had chosen above all others to offer immortality, THOU SHALT NOT KILL must be 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
All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the base of our splendid failure to do the impossible.
William Faulkner
Man knows so little about his fellows. In his eyes all men or women act upon what he believes would motivate him if he were mad enough to do what the other man or woman is doing.
William Faulkner
He is thinking quietly: I should not have got out of the habit of prayer.
William Faulkner
Menfolks listens to somebody because of what he says. Women don't. They don't care what he said. They listens because of what he is.
William Faulkner
They all talked at once, their voices insistent and contradictory and impatient, making of unreality a possibility, then a probability, then an incontrovertible fact, as people will when their desires become words.
William Faulkner
Just when do men that have different blood in them stop hating one another?
William Faulkner
The artists who want to be writers, read the reviews the artists who want to write, don't.
William Faulkner
My own experience has been that the tools I need for my trade are paper, tobacco, food, and a little whisky.
William Faulkner
We could live like counts. ... If all that money is out there, I might as well hack a little on the side and put the novel off.
William Faulkner
My ideal job? Landlord of a bordello! The company's good and the mornings are quiet, which is the best time to write.
William Faulkner
I imagine as long as people will continue to read novels, people will continue to write them, or vice versa unless of course the pictorial magazines and comic strips finally atrophy man's capacity to read, and literature really is on its way back to the picture writing in the Neanderthal cave.
William Faulkner
It wasn't until the Nobel Prize that they really thawed out. They couldn't understand my books, but they could understand $30,000.
William Faulkner
The salvation of the world is in man's suffering.
William Faulkner
