More quotes by William Faulkner
If there is a God what the hell is He for?
William Faulkner
The best fiction is far more true than any journalism.
William Faulkner
Our freedom must be buttressed by a homogeny equally and unchallengeably free, no matter what color they are, so that all the other inimical forces everywhere -- systems political or religious or racial or national -- will not just respect us because we practice freedom, they will fear us because we do.
William Faulkner
The writer's only responsibility is to his art.
William Faulkner
This does not matter. This is not anything yet. It all depends on what you do with it, afterward.
William Faulkner
You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.
William Faulkner
I knew that nobody but a luckless man could ever need a doctor in the face of a cyclone.
William Faulkner
Gettysburg. . . . You cant understand it. You would have to be born there.
William Faulkner
I love Virginians because Virginians are all snobs and I like snobs. A snob has to spend so much time being a snob that he has little time left to meddle with you.
William Faulkner
Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.
William Faulkner
A pair of jaybirds came up from nowhere, whirled up on the blast like gaudy scraps of cloth or paper and lodged in the mulberries, where they swung in raucous tilt and recover, screaming into the wind that ripped their harsh cries onward and away like scraps of paper or of cloth in turn.
William Faulkner
Dear God, let me be damned a little longer, a little while.
William Faulkner
All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection.
William Faulkner
It was like something you have dreaded and feared and dodged for years until it seemed like all your life, then despite everything it happened to you and all it was was just pain, all it did was hurt and so it was all over, all finished, all right.
William Faulkner
Idleness breeds our better virtues.
William Faulkner
Knowing not grieving remembers a thousand savage and lonely streets.
William Faulkner
Surely heaven must have something of the color and shape of whatever village or hill or cottage of which the believer says, This is my own.
William Faulkner
If happy I can be I will, if suffer I must I can.
William Faulkner
A writer must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid.
William Faulkner
Your illusions are a part of you like your bones and flesh and memory.
William Faulkner
