More quotes by William Faulkner
Really the writer doesn't want success. . . . He knows he has a short span of life, that the day will come when he must pass through the wall of oblivion, and he wants to leave a scratch on that wall - Kilroy was here - that somebody a hundred, or a thousand years later will see.
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
The work never matches the dream of perfection the artist has to start with.
William Faulkner
Women ... to them any wedding is better than no wedding and a big wedding with a villain preferable to a small one with a saint.
William Faulkner
Like a fellow running from or toward a gun ain't got time to worry whether the word for what he is doing is courage or cowardice.
William Faulkner
Your illusions are a part of you like your bones and flesh and memory.
William Faulkner
The only rule I have is to quit while it’s still hot. Never write yourself out. Always quit when it’s going good. Then it’s easier to take it up again. If you exhaust yourself, then you’ll get into a dead spell and you’ll have trouble with it.
William Faulkner
If happy I can be I will, if suffer I must I can.
William Faulkner
Success is feminine and like a woman, if you cringe before her, she will override you
William Faulkner
Now she hates me. I have taught her that, at least.
William Faulkner
It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking.
William Faulkner
If you could just ravel out into time. That would be nice. It would be nice if you could just ravel out into time
William Faulkner
A writer must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid.
William Faulkner
You like orchids?... Nasty things. Their flesh is too much like the flesh of men, their perfume has the rotten sweetness of corruption.
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
I suppose that people, using themselves and each other so much by words, are at least consistent in attributing wisdom to a still tongue.
William Faulkner
We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.
William Faulkner
Hollywood is a place where a man can get stabbed in the back while climbing a ladder.
William Faulkner
You must always know the past, for there is no real Was, there is only Is.
William Faulkner
You can't. You just have to.
William Faulkner
