More quotes by William Faulkner
Don't be 'a writer'. Be writing.
William Faulkner
When something is new and hard and bright, there ought to be something a little better for it than just being safe, since the safe things are just the things that folks have been doing so long they have worn the edges off and there's nothing to the doing of them that leaves a man to say, That was not done before and it cannot be done again.
William Faulkner
We must just stay awake and see evil done for a little while it's not always.
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
You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.
William Faulkner
We have all heard what we wanted to hear! Truth that sounds right to our ears!
William Faulkner
A writer is trying to create believable people in credible moving situations in the most moving way he can.
William Faulkner
Facts and truth really don't have much to do with each other.
William Faulkner
A dream is not a very safe thing to be near... I know I had one once. It's like a loaded pistol with a hair trigger: if it stays alive long enough, somebody is going to be hurt. But if it's a good dream, it's worth it.
William Faulkner
The past is never dead. It's not even past.
William Faulkner
...It seems hard that a man in his need could be so flouted by a road.
William Faulkner
Read, read read. Read everything.
William Faulkner
Did you ever have a sister? did you?
William Faulkner
Whatever its symbol - cross or crescent or whatever - that symbol is man's reminder of his duty inside the human race.
William Faulkner
Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels only when the clock stops does time come to life.
William Faulkner
The artist doesn't have time to listen to the critics. The ones who want to be writers read the reviews, the ones who want to write don't have the time to read reviews.
William Faulkner
It is my ambition to be, as a private individual, abolished and voided from history, leaving it markless.
William Faulkner
Hollywood is a place where a man can get stabbed in the back while climbing a ladder.
William Faulkner
You must always know the past, for there is no real Was, there is only Is.
William Faulkner
Hemingway shot himself. I don't like a man that takes the short way home.
William Faulkner
