More quotes by William Faulkner
Civilization begins with distillation
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
The artists who want to be writers, read the reviews the artists who want to write, don't.
William Faulkner
The whiskey died away in time and was renewed and died again, but the street ran on. From that night the thousand streets ran as one street, with imperceptible corners and changes of scene.
William Faulkner
To understand the world, you must first understand a place like Mississippi.
William Faulkner
In my opinion it's a shame that there is so much work in the world.
William Faulkner
Setting an example for your children takes all the fun out of middle age Conditions are never just right. People who delay action until all factors are favorable do nothing.
William Faulkner
Every man has a different idea of what's beautiful, and it's best to take the gesture, the shadow of the branch, and let the mind create the tree.
William Faulkner
Your illusions are a part of you like your bones and flesh and memory.
William Faulkner
There is something about jumping a horse over a fence, something that makes you feel good. Perhaps it's the risk, the gamble. In any event it's a thing I need.
William Faulkner
Just when do men that have different blood in them stop hating one another?
William Faulkner
Most men are a little better than their circumstances give them a chance to be.
William Faulkner
Idleness breeds our better virtues.
William Faulkner
Then Ben wailed again, hopeless and prolonged. It was nothing. Just sound. It might have been all time and injustice and sorrow become vocal for an instant by a conjunction of planets.
William Faulkner
The past is never dead. It's not even past.
William Faulkner
A man never gets anywhere if facts and his ledgers don't square.
William Faulkner
And I will look down and see my murmuring bones and the deep water like wind, like a roof of wind, and after a long time they cannot distinguish even bones upon the lonely and inviolate sand.
William Faulkner
A writer is trying to create believable people in credible moving situations in the most moving way he can.
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
Our most treasured family heirloom are our sweet family memories. The past is never dead, it is not even past.
William Faulkner
