More quotes by William Faulkner
Truth that long clean clear simple undeniable unchallengeable straight and shining line, on one side of which black is black and on the other white is white, has now become an angle, a point of view.
William Faulkner
Between grief and nothing, I will take grief.
William Faulkner
It always takes a man that never made much at any thing to tell you how to run your business, though. Like these college professors without a whole pair of socks to his name, telling you how to make a million in ten years, and a woman that couldn't even get a husband can always tell you how to raise a family.
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
Most men are a little better than their circumstances give them a chance to be.
William Faulkner
Memory believes before knowing remembers. [Light in August]
William Faulkner
Everything in Los Angeles is too large, too loud and usually banal in concept… The plastic asshole of the world.
William Faulkner
It's the most satisfying occupation man has discovered yet, because you never can quite do it as well as you want to, so there's always something to wake up tomorrow morning to do.
William Faulkner
The Swiss are not a people so much as a neat, clean, quite solvent business.
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
Everyone in the South has no time for reading because they are all too busy writing.
William Faulkner
Pointless. . . . Like giving caviar to an elephant.
William Faulkner
It begins with a character, usually, and once he stands up on his feet and begins to move, all I can do is trot along behind him with a paper and pencil trying to keep up long enough to put down what he says and does.
William Faulkner
The writer's only responsibility is to his art.
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
Dear God, let me be damned a little longer, a little while.
William Faulkner
It's not when you realize that nothing can help you — religion, pride, anything — it's when you realize that you don't need any aid.
William Faulkner
To live anywhere in the world today and be against equality because of race or color is like living in Alaska and being against snow.
William Faulkner
It's because I'm alone.. If I could just feel it, it would be different, because I would not be alone. But if I were not alone, everybody would know it. And he could do so much for me, and then I would not be alone. Then I could be all right alone.
William Faulkner
No man can write who is not first a humanitarian
William Faulkner
