More quotes by William Faulkner
Now she hates me. I have taught her that, at least.
William Faulkner
Tell about the South. What's it like there. What do they do there. Why do they live there. Why do they live at all.
William Faulkner
He was looking at her from behind the smiling that wasn't smiling but was something you were not supposed to see beyond.
William Faulkner
A writer is congenitally unable to tell the truth and that is why we call what he writes fiction.
William Faulkner
It's not when you realize that nothing can help you — religion, pride, anything — it's when you realize that you don't need any aid.
William Faulkner
You like orchids?... Nasty things. Their flesh is too much like the flesh of men, their perfume has the rotten sweetness of corruption.
William Faulkner
So long as the deceit ran along quiet and monotonous, all of us let ourselves be deceived, abetting it unawares or maybe through cowardice.
William Faulkner
In Europe, being an artist is a form of behavior. In America, it's an excuse for a form of behavior.
William Faulkner
It always takes a man that never made much at any thing to tell you how to run your business, though. Like these college professors without a whole pair of socks to his name, telling you how to make a million in ten years, and a woman that couldn't even get a husband can always tell you how to raise a family.
William Faulkner
All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection.
William Faulkner
A fellow gets to thinking. About all the sorrow and afflictions in this world how it's liable to strike anywhere, like lightning.
William Faulkner
That's sad too, people cannot do anything that dreadful they cannot do anything very dreadful at all they cannot even remember tomorrow what seemed dreadful today
William Faulkner
The reason I don't like interviews is that I seem to react violently to personal questions. If the questions are about the work, I try to answer them. When they are about me, I may answer or I may not, but even if I do, if the same question is asked tomorrow, the answer may be different.
William Faulkner
A writer must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid.
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
To the man grown the long crowded mile of his boyhood becomes less than the throw of a stone.
William Faulkner
No one individual can tell the truth.
William Faulkner
She clung to that which had robbed her, as people do.
William Faulkner
The Swiss are not a people so much as a neat, clean, quite solvent business.
William Faulkner
My, my. A body does get around.
William Faulkner
