Additional quotes by William Faulkner

He had a word, too. Love, he called it. But I had been used to words for a long time. I knew that that word was like the others: just a shape to fill a lack; that when the right time came, you wouldn’t need a word for that anymore than for pride or fear.

This does not matter. This is not anything yet. It all depends on what you do with it, afterward.

Memory believes before knowing remembers.
