More quotes by William Faulkner
Your illusions are a part of you like your bones and flesh and memory.
William Faulkner
The only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself
William Faulkner
Menfolks listens to somebody because of what he says. Women don't. They don't care what he said. They listens because of what he is.
William Faulkner
Read, read read. Read everything.
William Faulkner
Men have been pacifists for every reason under the sun except to avoid danger and fighting.
William Faulkner
I am not one of those women who can stand things.
William Faulkner
It's because I'm alone.. If I could just feel it, it would be different, because I would not be alone. But if I were not alone, everybody would know it. And he could do so much for me, and then I would not be alone. Then I could be all right alone.
William Faulkner
All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection.
William Faulkner
In every writer there is a certain amount of the scavenger.
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
It is as though the space between us were time: an irrevocable quality. It is as though time, no longer running straight before us in a diminishing line, now runs parallel between us like a looping string, the distance being the doubling accretion of the thread an not the interval between.
William Faulkner

William Faulkner
Some days in late August at home are like this, the air thin and eager like this, with something in it sad and nostalgic and familiar.
William Faulkner
Life is a process of preparing to be dead for a long time.
William Faulkner
We have to start teaching ourselves not to be afraid.
William Faulkner
You should approach Joyce's Ulysses as the illiterate Baptist preacher approaches the Old Testament: with faith.
William Faulkner
Caddy smelled like trees.
William Faulkner
What's wrong with this world is, it's not finished yet. It is not completed to that point where man can put his final signature to the job and say, It is finished. We made it, and it works.
William Faulkner
People to whom sin is just a matter of words, to them salvation is just words too.
William Faulkner
She was the captain of her soul
William Faulkner
