More quotes by William Faulkner
I will never lie again.
William Faulkner
War is an episode, a crisis, a fever the purpose of which is to rid the body of fever. So the purpose of a war is to end the war.
William Faulkner
Just when do men that have different blood in them stop hating one another?
William Faulkner
Every man has a different idea of what's beautiful, and it's best to take the gesture, the shadow of the branch, and let the mind create the tree.
William Faulkner
They say that it is the practiced liar who can deceive. But so often the practiced and chronic liar deceives only himself it is the man who all his life has been selfconvicted of veracity whose lies find quickest credence.
William Faulkner
Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain.
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
The past isn't over. It isn't even past.
William Faulkner
Don't do what you can do - try what you can't do.
William Faulkner
A man's moral conscience is the curse he had to accept from the gods in order to gain from them the right to dream.
William Faulkner
A man never gets anywhere if facts and his ledgers don't square.
William Faulkner
I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't, and then tries the short story, which is the most demanding form after poetry. And, failing at that, only then does he take up novel writing.
William Faulkner
I know now that what makes a fool is an inability to take even his own good advice.
William Faulkner
It feels almost soft, like something to be caressed. Only gold feels that way.
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
She clung to that which had robbed her, as people do.
William Faulkner
That's a very good way to learn the craft of writing - from reading.
William Faulkner
I've got to feel the pencil and see the words at the end of the pencil.
William Faulkner
Whatever its symbol - cross or crescent or whatever - that symbol is man's reminder of his duty inside the human race.
William Faulkner
Love doesn't die the men and women do.
William Faulkner
