Home Quotes & Sayings William Faulkner Quotes (About Quality, Space, Time)

William Faulkner Quotes: It is as though the space between us…

It is as though the space between us were time: an irrevocable quality. It is as though time, no longer running straight before us in a diminishing line, now runs parallel between us like a looping string, the distance being the doubling accretion of the thread an not the interval between.

("As I Lay Dying")

More Quotes from William Faulkner:

A mule will labor ten years willingly and patiently for you, for the privilege of kicking you once.
William Faulkner

People between twenty and forty are not sympathetic. The child has the capacity to do but it can't know. It only knows when it is no longer able to do -- after forty. Between twenty and forty the will of the child to do gets stronger, more dangerous, but it has not begun to learn to know yet. Since his capacity to do is forced into channels of evil through environment and pressures, man is strong before he is moral. The world's anguish is caused by people between twenty and forty.
William Faulkner

Dear God, let me be damned a little longer, a little while.

William Faulkner

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

Judy Collins

Life is so constructed, that the event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation.
