The next time you try to seduce anyone, don't do it with talk, with words. Women know more about words than men ever will. And they know how little they can ever possibly mean.

More quotes by William Faulkner
Curiosity is a mistress whose slaves decline no sacrifice.
William Faulkner
It is the writer's privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart.
William Faulkner
A man is the sum of his misfortunes.
William Faulkner
Poor man. Poor mankind.
William Faulkner
The poets are almost always wrong about the facts... That's because they are not really interested in facts: only in truth...
William Faulkner
The reason I don't like interviews is that I seem to react violently to personal questions. If the questions are about the work, I try to answer them. When they are about me, I may answer or I may not, but even if I do, if the same question is asked tomorrow, the answer may be different.
William Faulkner
We must just stay awake and see evil done for a little while it's not always.
William Faulkner
Ever since then I have believed that God is not only a gentleman and a sport he is a Kentuckian too.
William Faulkner
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station….
William Faulkner
It feels almost soft, like something to be caressed. Only gold feels that way.
William Faulkner
To me, all human behavior is unpredictable and, considering man's frailty... and... the ramshackle universe he functions in, it's... all irrational.
William Faulkner
No man can cause more grief than that one clinging blindly to the vices of his ancestors.
William Faulkner
It is my ambition to be, as a private individual, abolished and voided from history, leaving it markless, no refuse save the printed books. [] It is my aim, and every effort bent, that the sum and history of my life, which in the same sentence is my obit and epitaph too, shall be them both: he made the books and he died.
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
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
Your illusions are a part of you like your bones and flesh and memory.
William Faulkner
any live man is better than any dead man but no live or dead man is very much better than any other live or dead man
William Faulkner
Man the sum of what have you. A problem in impure properties carried tediously to an unvarying nil: stalemate of dust and desire.
William Faulkner
Tell about the South. What's it like there. What do they do there. Why do they live there. Why do they live at all.
William Faulkner
Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world...would do this, it would change the earth.
William Faulkner
