More quotes by William Faulkner
We must just stay awake and see evil done for a little while it's not always.
William Faulkner
I believe in God, God. God, I believe in God.
William Faulkner
She clung to that which had robbed her, as people do.
William Faulkner
A mule will labor ten years willingly and patiently for you, for the privilege of kicking you once.
William Faulkner
I think that no one individual can look at truth. It blinds you. You look at it and you see one phase of it. Someone else looks at it and sees a slightly awry phase of it. But taken all together, the truth is in what they saw though nobody saw the truth intact.
William Faulkner
I feel like a wet seed wild in the hot blind earth.
William Faulkner
ingenuity was apparently given man in order that he may supply himself in crisis with shapes and sounds with which to guard himself from truth.
William Faulkner
I'm bad and I'm going to hell, and I don't care. I'd rather be in hell than anywhere where you are.
William Faulkner
An artist is completely amoral in that he will rob, beg, borrow, or steal from anybody and everybody to get the work done.
William Faulkner
I say money has no value it's just the way you spend 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
When something is new and hard and bright, there ought to be something a little better for it than just being safe, since the safe things are just the things that folks have been doing so long they have worn the edges off and there's nothing to the doing of them that leaves a man to say, That was not done before and it cannot be done again.
William Faulkner
I don't know anything about inspiration because I don't know what inspiration is I've heard about it, but I never saw it.
William Faulkner
When I have one martini, I feel bigger, wiser, taller. When I have a second, I feel superlative. When I have more, there's no holding me.
William Faulkner
No man can cause more grief than that one clinging blindly to the vices of his ancestors.
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
The scattered tea goes with the leaves and every day a sunset dies.
William Faulkner
Only when the clock stops does time come to life
William Faulkner
Memory believes before knowing remembers. Believes longer than recollects, longer than knowing even wonders.
William Faulkner
Everything in Los Angeles is too large, too loud and usually banal in concept… The plastic asshole of the world.
William Faulkner
