More quotes by William Faulkner

"Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window."
"In writing, you must kill all your darlings."
"A writer must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid."
"Everyone in the South has no time for reading because they are all too busy writing."
"If a story is in you, it has to come out."
