Home Quotes & Sayings William Faulkner Quotes (About Man)

William Faulkner Quotes: Man performs and engenders so much more…

Man performs and engenders so much more than he can or should have to bear. That's how he finds that he can bear anything.

More Quotes from William Faulkner:

I could just remember how my father used to say that the reason for living was to get ready to stay dead a long time.
William Faulkner

The past is not dead. In fact, it's not even past.
William Faulkner

We cannot choose freedom established on a hierarchy of degrees of freedom, on a caste system of equality like military rank. We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.
William Faulkner

My mother is a fish.
William Faulkner

And that's how the book grew. That is, I wrote that same story four times. None of them were right, but I had anguished so much that I could not throw any of it away and start over, so I printed it in the four sections. That was not a deliberate tour de force at all, the book just grew that way. That I was still trying to tell one story which moved me very much and each time I failed, but I had put so much anguish into it that I couldn't throw it away, like the mother that had four bad children, that she would have been better off if they all had been eliminated, But she couldn't relinquish any of them. And that's the reason I have the most tenderness for that book, because it failed four times.
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
