Additional quotes by William Faulkner

Nothing matters but breath, breathing, to know and to be alive.

Art is not concerned with environment either; it doesn't care where it is ... the best job that was ever offered to me was to become a landlord in a brothel. In my opinion it's the perfect milieu for an artist to work in.

But I can try it. I can try to do it.
