William Faulkner Quotes: The reason you will not say it is,…

The reason you will not say it is, when you say it, even to yourself, you will know it is true.

("As I Lay Dying")

More Quotes from William Faulkner:

He thought that it was loneliness which he was trying to escape and not himself. But the street ran on: catlike, one place was the same as another to him. But in none of them could he be quiet. But the street ran on in its moods and phases, always empty: he might have seen himself as in numberless avatars, in silence, doomed with motion, driven by the courage of flagged and spurred despair; by the despair of courage whose opportunities had to be flagged and spurred.
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

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

She has no mother because fatherblood hates with love and pride, but motherblood with hate loves and cohabits.
William Faulkner

I believe that man not merely endure he will prevail.
William Faulkner

When I was little there was a picture in one of our books, a dark place into which a single weak ray of light came slanting upon two faces lifted out of the shadow.
William Faulkner
