William Faulkner
The necessity of the idea creates its own style. The material itself dictates how it should be written.
William Faulkner
You can't beat women anyhow and that if you are wise or dislike trouble and uproar you don't even try to.
William Faulkner
No battle is ever won ... victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.
