More quotes by William Faulkner
Fear is the most damnable, damaging thing to human personality in the whole world.
William Faulkner

William Faulkner
Only when the clock stops does time come to life
William Faulkner

William Faulkner
Idleness breeds our better virtues.
William Faulkner
A writer is trying to create believable people in credible moving situations in the most moving way he can.
William Faulkner
There is no such thing as bad whiskey. Some whiskeys just happen to be better than others. But a man shouldn't fool with booze until he's fifty then he's a damn fool if he doesn't.
William Faulkner
The past is never dead. It's not even past.
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
He is thinking quietly: I should not have got out of the habit of prayer.
William Faulkner
It's terrible to be young. It's terrible. Terrible
William Faulkner
