More quotes by William Faulkner
Try to be better than yourself.
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
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
Men have been pacifists for every reason under the sun except to avoid danger and fighting.
William Faulkner

William Faulkner
No one individual can tell the truth.
William Faulkner
History is not was, it is.
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
Women ... to them any wedding is better than no wedding and a big wedding with a villain preferable to a small one with a saint.
William Faulkner
The poets are almost always wrong about the facts... That's because they are not really interested in facts: only in truth...
William Faulkner
...It seems hard that a man in his need could be so flouted by a road.
William Faulkner
I only write when I feel the inspiration. Fortunately, inspiration strikes at 10:00 o'clock every day.
William Faulkner
The Swiss are not a people so much as a neat, clean, quite solvent business.
William Faulkner
Your illusions are a part of you like your bones and flesh and memory.
William Faulkner
I am trying to say it all in one sentence, between one cap and one period.
William Faulkner
She loved him not only in spite of but because he himself was incapable of love.
William Faulkner
I could smell the curves of the river beyond the dusk and I saw the last light supine and tranquil upon tideflats like pieces of broken mirror, then beyond them lights began in the pale clear air, trembling a little like butterflies hovering a long way off.
William Faulkner
