More quotes by William Faulkner
Everyone in the South has no time for reading because they are all too busy writing.
William Faulkner
It's terrible to be young. It's terrible. Terrible
William Faulkner
It always takes a man that never made much at any thing to tell you how to run your business, though. Like these college professors without a whole pair of socks to his name, telling you how to make a million in ten years, and a woman that couldn't even get a husband can always tell you how to raise a family.
William Faulkner
Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.
William Faulkner
In every writer there is a certain amount of the scavenger.
William Faulkner
It's a shame that the only thing a man can do for eight hours a day is work. He can't eat for eight hours he can't drink for eight hours he can't make love for eight hours. The only thing a man can do for eight hours is work.
William Faulkner
No one individual can tell the truth.
William Faulkner
Henry James was one of the nicest old ladies I ever met.
William Faulkner
You don’t love because: you love despite not for the virtues, but despite the faults.
William Faulkner
I only write when I feel the inspiration. Fortunately, inspiration strikes at 10:00 o'clock every day.
William Faulkner
The salvation of the world is in man's suffering.
William Faulkner
In my opinion it's a shame that there is so much work in the world.
William Faulkner
Surely heaven must have something of the color and shape of whatever village or hill or cottage of which the believer says, This is my own.
William Faulkner
I'm inclined to think that a military background wouldn't hurt anyone.
William Faulkner
Mississippi begins in a lobby of a Memphis, Tennessee hotel and extends south to the Gulf of Mexico
William Faulkner
When I have one martini, I feel bigger, wiser, taller. When I have a second, I feel superlative. When I have more, there's no holding me.
William Faulkner
ingenuity was apparently given man in order that he may supply himself in crisis with shapes and sounds with which to guard himself from truth.
William Faulkner
I had learned a little about writing from Soldier's Pay - how to approach language, words: not with seriousness so much as an essayist does, but with a kind of alert respect, as you approach dynamite even with joy, as you approach women: perhaps with the same secretly unscrupulous intentions.
William Faulkner
Maybe times are never strange to women: it is just one continuous monotonous thing full of the repeated follies of their menfolks.
William Faulkner
To the man grown the long crowded mile of his boyhood becomes less than the throw of a stone.
William Faulkner
