More quotes by William Faulkner
Love in the young requires as little of hope as of desire to feed upon.
William Faulkner

William Faulkner
Because no battle is ever won he said. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.
William Faulkner
A man never gets anywhere if facts and his ledgers don't square.
William Faulkner

William Faulkner
War and drink are the two things man is never too poor to buy.
William Faulkner
Love doesn't die the men and women do.
William Faulkner
Believe that man will not merely endure he will prevail.
William Faulkner
It is not proof that I sought. I, of all men, know that proof is but a fallacy invented by man to justify to himself and his fellows his own crass lust and folly.
William Faulkner
It wasn't until the Nobel Prize that they really thawed out. They couldn't understand my books, but they could understand $30,000.
William Faulkner
I decline to accept the end of man.
William Faulkner
Who is he who will affirm that there must be a web of flesh and bone to hold the shape of love?
William Faulkner
