...thinking as he had thought...

...thinking as he had thought before and would think again and as every other man has thought: how false the most profound book turns out to be when applied to life.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

There were many things I coul...

There were many things I could do for two or three days and earn enough money to live on for the rest of the month. By temperament I'm a vagabond and a tramp.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

Everything goes by the board:...

Everything goes by the board: honor, pride, decency, security, happiness, all, to get the book written.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

The reason I don't like inter...

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.

ingenuity was apparently give...

ingenuity was apparently given man in order that he may supply himself in crisis with shapes and sounds with which to guard himself from truth.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

Gough never pretended to perf...

Gough never pretended to perfection or to sainthood - well, hardly ever. Although when he set off the metal detector at airport security, he would blame his aura.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

The air brightened, the runni...

The air brightened, the running shadow patches were now the obverse, and it seemed to him that the fact that the day was clearing was another cunning stroke on the part of the foe, the fresh battle toward which he was carrying ancient wounds.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

I dont hate it he thought, pa...

I dont hate it he thought, panting in the cold air, the iron New England dark; I dont. I dont! I dont hate it! I dont hate it!

William Faulkner 414 quotes

I think the serious things re...

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 414 quotes

There is that might-have-been...

There is that might-have-been which is the single rock we cling to above the maelstrom of unbearable reality.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

A writer is trying to create believable people in credible moving situations in the most moving way he can.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

In the South you are ashamed ...

In the South you are ashamed of being a virgin. Boys. Men. They lie about it. Because it means less to women, Father said. He said it was men invented virginity not women. Father said it's like death: only a state in which the others are left and I said, But to believe it doesn't matter and he said, That's what's so sad about anything: not only virginity and I said, Why couldn't it have been me and not her who is unvirgin and he said, That's why that's sad too; nothing is even worth the changing of it.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

I think that no one individua...

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.

We shall not kill and maybe next time we even won't.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

You're looking, sir, at a ver...

You're looking, sir, at a very dull survivor of a very gaudy life. Crippled, paralyzed in both legs. Very little I can eat, and my sleep is so near waking that it's hardly worth the name. I seem to exist largely on heat, like a newborn spider.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

The artist doesn't have time ...

The artist doesn't have time to listen to the critics. The ones who want to be writers read the reviews, the ones who want to write don't have the time to read reviews.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

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 414 quotes

A man never gets anywhere if facts and his ledgers don't square.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

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 414 quotes

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.
