William Faulkner
Love doesn't die the men and women do.
William Faulkner

William Faulkner
One of the saddest things is that the only thing that a man can do for eight hours a day, day after day, is work. You can't eat...nor make love for eight hours...
William Faulkner
Teach yourself by your own mistakes people learn only by error.
William Faulkner
Gettysburg. . . . You cant understand it. You would have to be born there.
William Faulkner
The only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself
William Faulkner
Most men are a little better than their circumstances give them a chance to be.

Hemingway shot himself. I don't like a man that takes the short way home.
William Faulkner
