More quotes by William Faulkner
People ... have tried to evoke God or devil to justify them in what their glands insisted upon.
William Faulkner
If there is a God what the hell is He for?
William Faulkner
I never promise a woman anything nor let her know what I'm going to give her. That's the only way to manage them. Always keep them guessing. If you cant think of any other way to surprise them, give them a bust in the jaw.
William Faulkner
Purity is a negative state and therefore contrary to nature.
William Faulkner
It's terrible to be young. It's terrible. Terrible
William Faulkner
Women do have an affinity for evil, for believing that no woman is to be trusted, but that some men are too innocent to protect themselves.
William Faulkner
The poets are almost always wrong about the facts... That's because they are not really interested in facts: only in truth...
William Faulkner
It is not proof that I sought. I, of all men, know that proof is but a fallacy invented by man to justify to himself and his fellows his own crass lust and folly.
William Faulkner
And we'd sit in the dry leaves that whispered a little with the slow respiration of our waiting and with the slow breathing of the earth and the windless october, the rank smell of the lantern fouling the brittle air, listening to the dog and the echo of louis' voice dying away
William Faulkner
It was like something you have dreaded and feared and dodged for years until it seemed like all your life, then despite everything it happened to you and all it was was just pain, all it did was hurt and so it was all over, all finished, all right.
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
I don't want money badly enough to work for it.
William Faulkner
Our most treasured family heirloom are our sweet family memories. The past is never dead, it is not even past.
William Faulkner
It's all now you see: tomorrow began yesterday and yesterday won't be over until tomorrow.
William Faulkner
Caddy smelled like trees.
William Faulkner
It's always the idle habits you acquire which you will regret.
William Faulkner
You could do so much for me if you just would. If you just knew. I am I and you are you and I know it and you don't know it and you could do so much for me if you just would and if you just would then I could tell you and then nobody would have to know it except you and me.
William Faulkner
Try to be better than yourself.
William Faulkner
Setting an example for your children takes all the fun out of middle age Conditions are never just right. People who delay action until all factors are favorable do nothing.
William Faulkner
The only environment the artist needs is whatever peace, whatever solitude, and whatever pleasure he can get at not too high a cost.
William Faulkner
