More quotes by William Faulkner
Love doesn't die the men and women do.
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
Try to be better than yourself.
William Faulkner
I don't care much for facts, am not much interested in them, you can't stand a fact up, you've got to prop it up, and when you move to one side a little and look at it from that angle, it's not thick enough to cast a shadow in that direction.
William Faulkner
Poor man. Poor mankind.
William Faulkner
Tomorrow night is nothing but one long sleepless wrestle with yesterday's omissions and regrets.
William Faulkner
Memory believes before knowing remembers. Believes longer than recollects, longer than knowing even wonders.
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
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
A writer needs three things, experience, observation, and imagination, any two of which, at times any one of which, can supply the lack of the others.
William Faulkner
ingenuity was apparently given man in order that he may supply himself in crisis with shapes and sounds with which to guard himself from truth.
William Faulkner
You don’t love because: you love despite not for the virtues, but despite the faults.
William Faulkner
There is no such thing as was - only is. If was existed, there would be no grief or sorrow.
William Faulkner
I believe man will not merely endure, he will prevail...because he has a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.
William Faulkner
You like orchids?... Nasty things. Their flesh is too much like the flesh of men, their perfume has the rotten sweetness of corruption.
William Faulkner
Wonder. Go on and wonder.
William Faulkner
We have all heard what we wanted to hear! Truth that sounds right to our ears!
William Faulkner
There is that might-have-been which is the single rock we cling to above the maelstrom of unbearable reality.
William Faulkner
Believe that man will not merely endure he will prevail.
William Faulkner
Curiosity is a mistress whose slaves decline no sacrifice.
William Faulkner
