More quotes by 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
The reason you will not say it is, when you say it, even to yourself, you will know it is true.
William Faulkner
There is no such thing as a bad whisky. Some whiskies just happen to be better than others.
William Faulkner
My own experience has been that the tools I need for my trade are paper, tobacco, food, and a little whisky.
William Faulkner
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.
William Faulkner
The only environment the artist needs is whatever peace, whatever solitude, and whatever pleasure he can get at not too high a cost.
William Faulkner
I know now that what makes a fool is an inability to take even his own good advice.
William Faulkner
Riches is nothing in the face of the Lord, for He can see into the heart.
William Faulkner
Don't do what you can do - try what you can't do.
William Faulkner
Man the sum of what have you. A problem in impure properties carried tediously to an unvarying nil: stalemate of dust and desire.
William Faulkner
And we'd sit in the dry leaves that whispered a little with the slow respiration of our waiting and with the slow breathing of the earth and the windless october, the rank smell of the lantern fouling the brittle air, listening to the dog and the echo of louis' voice dying away
William Faulkner
Get it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but that's the only way you can do anything really good.
William Faulkner
That which is destroying the Church is not the outward groping of those within it nor the inward groping of those without, but the professionals who control it and who have removed the bells from its steeples.
William Faulkner
History is not was, it is.
William Faulkner
Necessity has a way of obliterating from our conduct various delicate scruples regarding honor and pride.
William Faulkner
Nothing can destroy the good writer. The only thing that can alter the good writer is death. Good ones don't have time to bother with success or getting rich.
William Faulkner
When I was a boy I first learned how much better water tastes when it has set a while in a cedar bucket. Warmish-cool, with a faint taste like the hot July wind in Cedar trees smells.
William Faulkner
The past is never dead. It's not even past.
William Faulkner
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.
William Faulkner
No man can write who is not first a humanitarian
