It's because I'm alone.. If I could just feel it, it would be different, because I would not be alone. But if I were not alone, everybody would know it. And he could do so much for me, and then I would not be alone. Then I could be all right alone.

That's a very good way to learn the craft of writing - from reading.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

Life was created in the valle...

Life was created in the valleys. It blew up onto the hills on the old terrors, the old lusts, the old despairs. That's why you must walk up the hills so you can ride down.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

Man knows so little about his...

Man knows so little about his fellows. In his eyes all men or women act upon what he believes would motivate him if he were mad enough to do what the other man or woman is doing.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

People ... have tried to evok...

People ... have tried to evoke God or devil to justify them in what their glands insisted upon.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

It feels almost soft, like so...

It feels almost soft, like something to be caressed. Only gold feels that way.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

I think that-that anyone, the...

I think that-that anyone, the painter, the musician, the writer works in a-a kind of an-an insane fury. He's demon-driven. He can get up feeling rotten, with a hangover, or with-with actual pain, and-and if he gets to work, the first thing he knows, he don't remember that pain, that hangover-he's too busy.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

Whatever its symbol - cross o...

Whatever its symbol - cross or crescent or whatever - that symbol is man's reminder of his duty inside the human race.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

Thank God you can flee, can e...

Thank God you can flee, can escape from that massy five-foot-thick maggot-cheesy solidarity which overlays the earth, in which men and women in couples are ranked like ninepins.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

The poet's, the writer's, dut...

The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

Love in the young requires as...

Love in the young requires as little of hope as of desire to feed upon.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

Because there is something in...

Because there is something in the touch of flesh with flesh which abrogates, cuts sharp and straight across the devious intricate channels of decorous ordering, which enemies as well as lovers know because it makes them both:---touch and touch of that which is the citadel of the central I-Am's private own: not spirit, soul; the liquorish and ungirdled mind is anyone's to take in any any darkened hallway of this earthly tenement. But let flesh touch with flesh, and watch the fall of all the eggshell shibboleth of caste and color too.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

It is just dawn, daylight: th...

It is just dawn, daylight: that gray and lonely suspension filled with the peaceful and tentative waking of birds. The air, inbreathed, is like spring water. He breathes deep and slow, feeling with each breath himself diffuse in the natural grayness, becoming one with loneliness and quiet that has never known fury or despair. "That was all I wanted," he thinks, in a quiet and slow amazement. "That was all, for thirty years. That didn't seem to be a whole lot to ask in thirty years.

Though children can accept adults as adults, adults can never accept children as anything but adults too.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

Our tragedy is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it...the basest of all things is to be afraid.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

Then Ben wailed again, hopeles...

Then Ben wailed again, hopeless and prolonged. It was nothing. Just sound. It might have been all time and injustice and sorrow become vocal for an instant by a conjunction of planets.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

Where the shadow of the bridge...

Where the shadow of the bridge fell I could see down for a long way, but not as far as the bottom. When you leave a leaf in water a long time after awhile the tissue will be gone and the delicate fibres waving slow as the motion of sleep. They don't touch one another, no matter how knotted up they once were, no matter how close they lay once to the bones.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

Even sound seemed to fail in this air, like the air was worn out with carrying sounds so long.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

The books I read are the ones I knew and loved when I was a young man and to which I return as you do to old friends.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

That's the one trouble with this country: everything, weather, all, hangs on too long. Like our rivers, our land: opaque, slow, violent; shaping and creating the life of man in its implacable and brooding image.
