Additional quotes by William Faulkner

Talk, talk, talk: the utter and heartbreaking stupidity of words.

For the Lord aimed for him to do and not to spend too much time thinking, because his brain it's like a piece of machinery: it won't stand a whole lot of racking. It's best when it all runs along the same, doing the day's work and not no one part used no more than needful.

To understand the world, you must first understand a place like Mississippi.
