William Faulkner Quotes: And so I told myself to take that…

And so I told myself to take that one. Because Father said clocks slay time. He said time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life. The hands were extended, slightly off the horizontal at a faint angle, like a gull tilting into the wind.

("The Sound and the Fury")

William Faulkner
