William Faulkner Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

In a strange room you must empty yourself for sleep. And before you are emptied for sleep, what are you. And when you are emptied for sleep, what are you. And when you are emptied for sleep you are not. And when you are filled with sleep, you never were. I don’t know what I am. I don’t know if I am or not Picture Quote #1

I don’t suppose anybody ever deliberately listens to a watch or a clock. You don’t have to. You can be oblivious to the sound for a long while, then in a second of ticking it can create in the mind unbroken the long diminishing parade of time you didn’t hear Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

So, never be afraid. Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion, against injustice and lying and greed. If you, not just you in this room tonight, but in all the thousands of other rooms like this one about the world today and tomorrow and next week, will do this, not as a class or classes, but as individuals, men and women, you will change the earth Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I believe that man will not merely endure. He will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance Picture Quote #1

I have found that the greatest help in meeting any problem is to know where you yourself stand. That is, to have in words what you believe and are acting from Picture Quote #1

It is my aim, and every effort bent, that the sum and history of my life, which in the same sentence is my obit and epitaph too, shall be them both: He made the books and he died Picture Quote #1

Maybe the only thing worse than having to give gratitude constantly is having to accept it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Perhaps they were right in putting love into books... Perhaps it could not live anywhere else Picture Quote #1

Even a liar can be scared into telling the truth, same as an honest man can be tortured into telling a lie Picture Quote #1

Why that’s a hundred miles away. That’s a long way to go just to eat Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It is not proof that I sought. I, of all men, know that proof is but a fallacy invented by man to justify to himself and his fellows his own crass lust and folly Picture Quote #1

What’s wrong with this world is, it’s not finished yet. It is not competed to the point where man can put his final signature to the job and say, it is finished. We made it and it works Picture Quote #1

Too much happens... Man performs, engenders, so much more than he can or should have to bear. That’s how he finds that he can bear anything... That’s what’s so terrible Picture Quote #1

Maybe it was because like not only finds like; it can’t even escape from being found by its like. Even when it’s just like in one thing, because even them two with the same like was different Picture Quote #1

I subscribe to William Faulkner’s’ view that history is not just about what we were before but who we are now Picture Quote #1
