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
To live anywhere in the world today and be against equality because of race or color is like living in Alaska and being against snow.
William Faulkner
All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the base of our splendid failure to do the impossible.
William Faulkner
The writer doesn't need economic freedom. All he needs is a pencil and some paper.
William Faulkner
No man can write who is not first a humanitarian
William Faulkner
A gentleman can live through anything.
William Faulkner
It's all now you see: tomorrow began yesterday and yesterday won't be over until tomorrow.
William Faulkner

William Faulkner
The past is never dead. It's not even past.
William Faulkner
I don't care much for facts, am not much interested in them, you can't stand a fact up, you've got to prop it up, and when you move to one side a little and look at it from that angle, it's not thick enough to cast a shadow in that direction.
William Faulkner
Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain.
William Faulkner
To the man grown the long crowded mile of his boyhood becomes less than the throw of a stone.
William Faulkner
The salvation of the world is in man's suffering.
William Faulkner
War and drink are the two things man is never too poor to buy.
William Faulkner
It takes two people to make you, and one people to die. That's how the world is going to end.
William Faulkner
