William Faulkner
I am trying to say it all in one sentence, between one cap and one period.
William Faulkner
The only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself
William Faulkner
Pointless. . . . Like giving caviar to an elephant.
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
One day I was talking to Cora. She prayed for me because she believed I was blind to sin, wanting me to kneel and pray too, because people to whom sin is just a matter of words, to them salvation is just words too.
William Faulkner

William Faulkner
Man performs and engenders so much more than he can or should have to bear. That's how he finds that he can bear anything.
William Faulkner
Poor man. Poor mankind.
William Faulkner
You're looking, sir, at a very dull survivor of a very gaudy life. Crippled, paralyzed in both legs. Very little I can eat, and my sleep is so near waking that it's hardly worth the name. I seem to exist largely on heat, like a newborn spider.
William Faulkner
Setting an example for your children takes all the fun out of middle age Conditions are never just right. People who delay action until all factors are favorable do nothing.
William Faulkner
No man can cause more grief than that one clinging blindly to the vices of his ancestors.
William Faulkner
People ... have tried to evoke God or devil to justify them in what their glands insisted upon.
William Faulkner
It's all now you see: tomorrow began yesterday and yesterday won't be over until tomorrow.
William Faulkner
There is no such thing as a bad whisky. Some whiskies just happen to be better than others.
William Faulkner
I decline to accept the end of man.
William Faulkner
The artist doesn't have time to listen to the critics. The ones who want to be writers read the reviews, the ones who want to write don't have the time to read reviews.
William Faulkner
