A man. All men. He will pass ...

A man. All men. He will pass up a hundred chances to do good for one chance to meddle where meddling is not wanted. He will overlook and fail to see chances, opportunities, for riches and fame and welldoing, and even sometimes for evil. But he won't fail to see a chance to meddle.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

You could do so much for me i...

You could do so much for me if you just would. If you just knew. I am I and you are you and I know it and you don't know it and you could do so much for me if you just would and if you just would then I could tell you and then nobody would have to know it except you and me.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

Clocks slay time... time is d...

Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

It takes two people to make y...

It takes two people to make you, and one people to die. That's how the world is going to end.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

The aim of every artist is to...

The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist's way of scribbling "Kilroy was here" on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

It's a shame that the only th...

It's a shame that the only thing a man can do for eight hours a day is work. He can't eat for eight hours; he can't drink for eight hours; he can't make love for eight hours. The only thing a man can do for eight hours is work.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

Let the writer take up surger...

Let the writer take up surgery or bricklaying if he is interested in technique. There is no mechanical way to get the writing done, no shortcut. The young writer would be a fool to follow a theory. Teach yourself by your own mistakes; people learn only by error. The good artist believes that nobody is good enough to give him advice. He has supreme vanity. No matter how much he admires the old writer, he wants to beat him.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

Perhaps they were right putting love into books. Perhaps it could not live anywhere else.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

I never know what I think about something until I read what I've written on it.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

No one is without Christianit...

No one is without Christianity, if we agree on what we mean by that word. It is every individual's individual code of behavior by means of which he makes himself a better human being than his nature wants to be, if he followed his nature only. 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

It's not when you realize tha...

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 414 quotes

No battle is ever won ... victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

You get born and you try this...

You get born and you try this and you don't know why, only you keep on trying it and you are born at the same time with a lot of other people, all mixed up with them, like trying to, having to, move your arms and legs with strings, only the same strings are hitched to all the other arms and legs and the others all trying and they don't know why either except that the strings are all in one another's way.

The poets are almost always wrong about the facts... That's because they are not really interested in facts: only in truth...

William Faulkner 414 quotes

Some things you must always b...

Some things you must always be unable to bear. Some things you must never stop refusing to bear. Injustice and outrage and dishonor and shame. No matter how young you are or how old you have got. Not for kudos and not for cash: your picture in the paper nor money in the back either. Just refuse to bear them.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

I know now that what makes a fool is an inability to take even his own good advice.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

The most important thing is insight, that is to be - curious - to wonder, to mull, and to muse why it is that man does what he does.

William Faulkner 414 quotes

To understand the world, you must first understand a place like Mississippi.

Believe that man will not merely endure; he will prevail.

A man is the sum of his misfortunes. One day you'd think misfortune would get tired but then time is your misfortune
