Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or p... - William Faulkner

"The saddest thing about love, Joe, is that not only the love cannot last forever, but even the heartbreak is soon forgotten."

"It's a shame that the only thing a man can do for eight hours a day is work. He can't eat for eight hours; he can't drink for eight hours; he can't make love for eight hours. The only thing a man can do for eight hours is work."

"Get it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but it's the only way you can do anything good."

"You don’t love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults."

"A writer must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid."
