William Faulkner
The clock tick-tocked, solemn and profound. It might have been the dry pulse of the decaying house itself, after a while it whirred and cleared its throat and struck six times.
William Faulkner
To understand the world, you must first understand a place like Mississippi.
William Faulkner
Now she hates me. I have taught her that, at least.
