More quotes by William Faulkner
If I were reincarnated, I'd want to come back a buzzard. Nothing hates him or envies him or wants him or needs him. He is never bothered or in danger, and he can eat anything.
William Faulkner
They will endure. They are better than we are. Stronger than we are. Their vices are vices aped from white men or that white men and bondage have taught them: improvidence and intemperance and evasion-not laziness: evasion: of what white men had set them to, not for their aggrandizement or even comfort but his own.
William Faulkner
Did you ever have a sister? did you?
William Faulkner
Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain.
William Faulkner
Hollywood is a place where a man can get stabbed in the back while climbing a ladder.
William Faulkner
You have to write badly in order to write well.
William Faulkner
The salvation of the world is in man's suffering.
William Faulkner
Riches is nothing in the face of the Lord, for He can see into the heart.
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 think that no one individual can look at truth. It blinds you. You look at it and you see one phase of it. Someone else looks at it and sees a slightly awry phase of it. But taken all together, the truth is in what they saw though nobody saw the truth intact.
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
Read, read read. Read everything.
William Faulkner
Love in the young requires as little of hope as of desire to feed upon.
William Faulkner
When ideas come, I write them when they don't come, I don't.
William Faulkner
Pouring out liquor is like burning books.
William Faulkner
It's terrible to be young. It's terrible. Terrible
William Faulkner
No man can write who is not first a humanitarian
William Faulkner
By artist I mean of course everyone who has tried to create something which was not here before him, with no other tools and material than the uncommer-ciable ones of the human spirit.
William Faulkner
In every writer there is a certain amount of the scavenger.
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
