William Faulkner
She wouldn't say what we both knew. 'The reason you will not say it is, when you say it, even to yourself, you will know it is true: is that it? But you know it is true now. I can almost tell you the day when you knew it is true. Why won't you say it, even to yourself?' She will not say it.
William Faulkner

William Faulkner
The writer doesn't need economic freedom. All he needs is a pencil and some paper.
William Faulkner
Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do.
William Faulkner
You should approach Joyce's Ulysses as the illiterate Baptist preacher approaches the Old Testament: with faith.
William Faulkner
Well, between Scotch and nothin', I suppose I'd take Scotch. It's the nearest thing to good moonshine I can find.
William Faulkner
It is assumed that anyone who makes a million dollars has a unique gift, though he might have made it off some useless gadget.
William Faulkner
The only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself
William Faulkner
I think the serious things really are the things that make for happiness--people and things that are compatible, love.... So many people are content just to sit around and talk about them instead of getting out and attaining them. As if life were a joke of some kind.
William Faulkner
