More quotes by William Faulkner
It wasn't until the Nobel Prize that they really thawed out. They couldn't understand my books, but they could understand $30,000.
William Faulkner
People to whom sin is just a matter of words, to them salvation is just words too.
William Faulkner
The artists who want to be writers, read the reviews the artists who want to write, don't.
William Faulkner
The Swiss are not a people so much as a neat, clean, quite solvent business.
William Faulkner

William Faulkner
Facts and truth really don't have much to do with each other.
William Faulkner
Let the past abolish the past when -- and if -- it can substitute something better.

William Faulkner
It's terrible to be young. It's terrible. Terrible
William Faulkner
The end of wisdom is to dream high enough to lose the dream in the seeking of it.
William Faulkner
There is no such thing as a bad whisky. Some whiskies just happen to be better than others.
William Faulkner
I suppose that people, using themselves and each other so much by words, are at least consistent in attributing wisdom to a still tongue.
William Faulkner
Time is a fluid condition which has no existence except in the momentary avatars of individual people. There is no such thing as was - only is.
William Faulkner
The saddest thing about love, Joe, is that not only the love cannot last forever, but even the heartbreak is soon forgotten.
William Faulkner
The most important thing is insight, that is to be - curious - to wonder, to mull, and to muse why it is that man does what he does.
William Faulkner
Man knows so little about his fellows. In his eyes all men or women act upon what he believes would motivate him if he were mad enough to do what the other man or woman is doing.
William Faulkner
The writer's only responsibility is to his art.
William Faulkner
