More quotes by William Faulkner
Maybe the only thing worse than having to give gratitude constantlyall the time, is having to accept it.
William Faulkner

William Faulkner

William Faulkner

William Faulkner
Don't do what you can do - try what you can't do.
William Faulkner

William Faulkner
Really the writer doesn't want success. . . . He knows he has a short span of life, that the day will come when he must pass through the wall of oblivion, and he wants to leave a scratch on that wall - Kilroy was here - that somebody a hundred, or a thousand years later will see.
William Faulkner
Love doesn't die the men and women do.
William Faulkner
Love in the young requires as little of hope as of desire to feed upon.
William Faulkner
Just when do men that have different blood in them stop hating one another?
William Faulkner
Don Quixote — I read that every year, as some do the Bible.
William Faulkner
Let the past abolish the past when -- and if -- it can substitute something better.
William Faulkner
Nothing can destroy the good writer. The only thing that can alter the good writer is death. Good ones don't have time to bother with success or getting rich.
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.
