The best fiction is far more true than any journalism. - William Faulkner
"The best fiction is far more true than any journalism."
"The best fiction is far more true than any journalism."
"Everyone in the South has no time for reading because they are all too busy writing."
"In writing, you must kill all your darlings."
"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."
"You don’t love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults."
"Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself."
