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
Teach yourself by your own mistakes people learn only by error.
William Faulkner
All men are just accumulations dolls stuffed with sawdust swept up from the trash heaps where all previous dolls had been thrown away.
