More quotes by William Faulkner
"The past is never dead. It's not even past. All of us labor in webs spun long before we were born, webs of heredity and environment, of desire and consequence, of history and eternity. Haunted by wrong turns and roads not taken, we pursue images perceived as new but whose providence dates to the dim dramas of childhood, which are themselves but ripples of consequence echoing down the generations. The quotidian demands of life distract from this resonance of images and events, but some of us feel it always."
"You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore."
"To understand the world, you must first understand a place like Mississippi."
"Unless you're ashamed of yourself now and then, you're not honest"
"We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it."
