Creative Quotations

from William

Faulkner(1897-1962) born Sep 25

US novelist; He wrote about a microcosm of the post-Civil War deep South in The Sound

and the Fury, 1929.

A writer needs three things, experience, observation,

and imagination, any two of which… can

supply the lack of the others.

The end of wisdom is to dream high

enough to lose the dream in

the seeking of it.

If a writer has

to rob his

mother, he will

not hesitate; the "Ode on a

Grecian Urn" is worth any

number of old ladies.

All of us failed to match our

dreams of perfection. So

I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do

the impossible.

People need trouble -- a

little

frustration to sharpen

the spirit on, toughen it.
