William Faulkner

William Faulkner
It takes two people to make you, and one people to die. That's how the world is going to end.
William Faulkner
No man can write who is not first a humanitarian
William Faulkner
Women do have an affinity for evil, for believing that no woman is to be trusted, but that some men are too innocent to protect themselves.
William Faulkner
The Swiss are not a people so much as a neat, clean, quite solvent business.
William Faulkner
He is thinking quietly: I should not have got out of the habit of prayer.
William Faulkner
Idleness breeds our better virtues.
William Faulkner
Love doesn't die the men and women do.
William Faulkner
