More quotes by William Faulkner

William Faulkner

William Faulkner
Mississippi begins in a lobby of a Memphis, Tennessee hotel and extends south to the Gulf of Mexico
William Faulkner
It's the most satisfying occupation man has discovered yet, because you never can quite do it as well as you want to, so there's always something to wake up tomorrow morning to do.
William Faulkner
As long as I live under the capitalistic system I expect to have my life influenced by the demands of moneyed people. But I will be damned if I propose to be at the beck and call of every itinerant scoundrel who has two cents to invest in a postage stamp. This, sir, is my resignation.
William Faulkner

William Faulkner
The best fiction is far more true than any journalism.
William Faulkner
I think the serious things really are the things that make for happiness--people and things that are compatible, love.... So many people are content just to sit around and talk about them instead of getting out and attaining them. As if life were a joke of some kind.
William Faulkner
We shall not kill and maybe next time we even won't.
William Faulkner
I draw no petty social lines. A man to me is a man, wherever I find him.
William Faulkner
My, my. A body does get around.
William Faulkner
In my opinion it's a shame that there is so much work in the world.
William Faulkner
It is the writer's privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart.
William Faulkner
Now she hates me. I have taught her that, at least.
William Faulkner
If you could just ravel out into time. That would be nice. It would be nice if you could just ravel out into time
William Faulkner
