We cannot choose freedom established on a hierarchy of degrees of freedom, on a caste system of equality like military rank. We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.
William Faulkner
Image
Wonder. Go on and wonder.
William Faulkner

Knowing not grieving remembers a thousand savage and lonely streets.
William Faulkner

I know now that what makes a fool is an inability to take even his own good advice.
William Faulkner
Image
If there was anything at all in the Book, anything of hope and peace for His blind and bewildered spawn which He had chosen above all others to offer immortality, THOU SHALT NOT KILL must be it.
William Faulkner
Image
I think the serious things really are the things that make for happiness--people and things that are compatible, love.... So many people are content just to sit around and talk about them instead of getting out and attaining them. As if life were a joke of some kind.
William Faulkner

We have all heard what we wanted to hear! Truth that sounds right to our ears!
William Faulkner
Image
I think that no one individual can look at truth. It blinds you. You look at it and you see one phase of it. Someone else looks at it and sees a slightly awry phase of it. But taken all together, the truth is in what they saw though nobody saw the truth intact.

For every Southern boy fourteen years old, not once but whenever he wants it, there is the instant when it's still not yet two o'clock on that July afternoon in 1863...
William Faulkner
Image
Purity is a negative state and therefore contrary to nature.
William Faulkner
Image
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
Image
It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking.

Civilization begins with distillation
William Faulkner
Image
The poets are almost always wrong about the facts... That's because they are not really interested in facts: only in truth...
William Faulkner
Image
People everywhere are about the same, but ... it did seem that in a small town, where evil is harder to accomplish, where opportunities for privacy are scarcer, that people can invent more of it in other people's names. Because that was all it required: that idea, that single idle word blown from mind to mind.

I don't want money badly enough to work for it.
William Faulkner
Image
And even a liar can be scared into telling the truth, same as honest man can be tortured into telling a lie.
William Faulkner
Image
There is no such thing as was - only is. If was existed, there would be no grief or sorrow.
William Faulkner
Image
It's a shame that the only thing a man can do for eight hours a day is work. He can't eat for eight hours he can't drink for eight hours he can't make love for eight hours. The only thing a man can do for eight hours is work.

Memory believes before knowing remembers. Believes longer than recollects, longer than knowing even wonders.
