More quotes by William Faulkner

William Faulkner
People need trouble - a little frustration to sharpen the spirit on, toughen it.
William Faulkner
What a writer's obituary should read - he wrote the books, then he died.
William Faulkner
Then Ben wailed again, hopeless and prolonged. It was nothing. Just sound. It might have been all time and injustice and sorrow become vocal for an instant by a conjunction of planets.
William Faulkner
Every man has a different idea of what's beautiful, and it's best to take the gesture, the shadow of the branch, and let the mind create the tree.
William Faulkner
