More quotes by William Faulkner
Knowing not grieving remembers a thousand savage and lonely streets.
William Faulkner
A dream is not a very safe thing to be near... I know I had one once. It's like a loaded pistol with a hair trigger: if it stays alive long enough, somebody is going to be hurt. But if it's a good dream, it's worth it.
William Faulkner
You don’t love because: you love despite not for the virtues, but despite the faults.
William Faulkner
...It seems hard that a man in his need could be so flouted by a road.
William Faulkner
Teach yourself by your own mistakes people learn only by error.
William Faulkner
Life was created in the valleys. It blew up onto the hills on the old terrors, the old lusts, the old despairs. That's why you must walk up the hills so you can ride down.
William Faulkner
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.
William Faulkner
Curiosity is a mistress whose slaves decline no sacrifice.
William Faulkner
That's sad too, people cannot do anything that dreadful they cannot do anything very dreadful at all they cannot even remember tomorrow what seemed dreadful today
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
War and drink are the two things man is never too poor to buy.
William Faulkner
Just when do men that have different blood in them stop hating one another?
William Faulkner
Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain.
William Faulkner
She forced herself once more to think of nothing, to keep her consciousness immersed, as a little dog that one keeps under water until he has stopped struggling
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
I've got to feel the pencil and see the words at the end of the pencil.
William Faulkner
I listen to the voices.
William Faulkner
One day I was talking to Cora. She prayed for me because she believed I was blind to sin, wanting me to kneel and pray too, because people to whom sin is just a matter of words, to them salvation is just words too.
William Faulkner
That's the one trouble with this country: everything, weather, all, hangs on too long. Like our rivers, our land: opaque, slow, violent shaping and creating the life of man in its implacable and brooding image.
William Faulkner
Mississippi begins in a lobby of a Memphis, Tennessee hotel and extends south to the Gulf of Mexico
