William Faulkner Quotes

As With Any Great Literature, There Are Probably As Many Ways To Read William Faulkner's Writing As There Are Readers. There Are Hundreds Of Books Devoted To Interpretations Of His Novels, Numerous Biographies, And Every Year High School Teachers And College Professors Guide Their Students Through One Or More Of The Novels. But After All Is Said And Done, There Are The Books Themselves, And The Pleasure Of Reading Them Can Be Deep And Lasting. The Language Faulkner Uses Ranges From The Poetically Beautiful, Nearly Biblical To The Coarse Sounds Of Rough Dialect. His Characters Linger In The Mind, Whether For Their Heroism Or Villainy, Their Stoicism Or Self-indulgence, Their Honesty Or Deceitfulness Or Self-deception, Their Wisdom Or Stupidity, Their Gentleness Or Cruelty. In Short, Like Shakespeare, William Faulkner Understood What It Means To Be Human.
