Quote by William Faulkner (1897-1962)

• The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.

• 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.

• Henry James was one of the nicest old ladies I ever met.

• The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.

• If I had not existed, someone else would have written me, Hemingway, Dostoyevsky, all of us.

• The end of wisdom is to dream high enough to lose the dream in the seeking of it.
