More quotes by William Faulkner
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.
William Faulkner
Tomorrow night is nothing but one long sleepless wrestle with yesterday's omissions and regrets.
William Faulkner
It always takes a man that never made much at any thing to tell you how to run your business, though. Like these college professors without a whole pair of socks to his name, telling you how to make a million in ten years, and a woman that couldn't even get a husband can always tell you how to raise a family.
William Faulkner
The best job that was ever offered to me was to become a landlord in a brothel. In my opinion it's the perfect milieu for an artist to work in.

William Faulkner

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

William Faulkner
Hollywood is a place where a man can get stabbed in the back while climbing a ladder.
William Faulkner
Everything in Los Angeles is too large, too loud and usually banal in concept… The plastic asshole of the world.
William Faulkner
My ideal job? Landlord of a bordello! The company's good and the mornings are quiet, which is the best time to write.
William Faulkner
Sometimes I aint so sho who's got ere a right to say when a man is crazy and when he aint. Sometimes I think it aint none of us pure crazy and aint none of us pure sane until the balance of us talks him that-a-way. It's like it aint so much what a fellow does, but it's the way the majority of folks is looking at him when he does it.
William Faulkner
No battle is ever won ... victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.
William Faulkner
A gentleman accepts the responsibility of his actions and bears the burden of their consequences.
William Faulkner
Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do.
William Faulkner
