More quotes by William Faulkner
People need trouble - a little frustration to sharpen the spirit on, toughen it. Artists do I don't mean you need to live in a rat hole or gutter, but you have to learn fortitude, endurance. Only vegetables are happy.
William Faulkner
Only when the clock stops does time come to life
William Faulkner
Unless you're ashamed of yourself now and then, you're not honest
William Faulkner

William Faulkner
Be scared. You can't help that. But don't be afraid. Ain't nothing in the woods going to hurt you unless you corner it, or it smells that you are afraid. A bear or a deer, too, has got to be scared of a coward the same as a brave man has got to be.
William Faulkner
Marriage is long enough to have plenty of room for time behind it.
William Faulkner
The writer's only responsibility is to his art.
William Faulkner
If there was anything at all in the Book, anything of hope and peace for His blind and bewildered spawn which He had chosen above all others to offer immortality, THOU SHALT NOT KILL must be it.
William Faulkner
Let the past abolish the past when -- and if -- it can substitute something better.
William Faulkner
Just when do men that have different blood in them stop hating one another?
William Faulkner
Gettysburg. . . . You cant understand it. You would have to be born there.
William Faulkner
I believe man will not merely endure, he will prevail...because he has a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.
William Faulkner
