Famous 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 is good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out the window."

"I never know what I think about something until I read what I've written on it."

"If I were reincarnated, I'd want to come back a buzzard. Nothing hates him or envies him or wants him or needs him. He is never bothered or in danger, and he can eat anything."

"Pointless. . . . Like giving caviar to an elephant."

"Memory believes before knowing remembers. Believes longer than recollects, longer than knowing even wonders."

"Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself."

"The young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat."

"Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain"

"I feel like a wet seed wild in the hot blind earth."

". . . and that sin and love and fear are just sounds that people who never sinned nor loved nor feared have for what they never had and cannot have until they forgot the words . . ."

William Faulkner Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech

Duration: 3:03
Updated: 04 Dec 2013

Ladies and gentlemen, I feel that this award was not made to me as a man, but to my work - a life's work in the agony and sweat of the human spirit, not for glory and least of all for profit, but to create out of the materials of the human spirit something which did not exist before. So this award is only mine in trust. It will not be difficult to find a dedication for the money part of it commensurate with the purpose and significance of its origin. But I would like to do the same with the acclaim too, by using this moment as a pinnacle from which I might be listened to by the young men and women already dedicated to the same anguish and travail, among whom is already that one who will some day stand here where I am standing. Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it. There are no longer problems of the spirit. There is only the question: When will I be blown up? Because of this, the young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat. He must learn them again. He must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid; and, teaching himself that, forget it forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old verities and truths of the heart, the old universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed - love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice. Until he does so, he labors under a curse. He writes not of love but of lust, of defeats in which nobody loses anything of value, of victories without hope and, worst of all, without pity or compassion. His griefs grieve on no universal bones, leaving no scars. He writes not of the heart but of the glands. Until he relearns these things, he will write as though he stood among and watched the end of man. I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure: that when the last dingdong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking. I refuse to accept this. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.

William Faulkner at the University of Virginia

Duration: 7:01
Updated: 14 May 2008

His place as one of the great writers of the 20th century firmly established, William Faulkner accepted an invitation in 1957 from U.Va.'s English department to come to the University as writer-in-residence. Faulkner's appointment was cause for excitement among students and faculty, though the winner of the 1949 Nobel Prize for Literature initially caught Virginians off guard. After Faulkner arrived on Grounds, his "observations on 'Virginia snobs' caused somewhat of a sensation," wrote Virginius Dabney in Mr. Jefferson's University. "He liked the state, he said, 'because Virginians are all snobs and I like snobs.'" For full article, go to http://www.uvamagazine.org/site/c.esJNK1PIJrH/b.4103475//

William Faulkner reads from his novel As I Lay Dying RARE AUDIO OF FAMOUS WRITER "Tull" ANALYSIS

Duration: 6:35
Updated: 10 Jun 2014

William Faulkner reads from early in the novel, the first "Tull" section. Tull reports private thoughts and conversations with others. He is with Anse. This 1930 novel starts with the death of Addie Bundren--hence the title "As I Lay Dying." That phrase opens a speech by Agamemnon in Book XI of Homer's The Odyssey, so there are echoes of mythology in Faulkner's work about the poor Bundrens in rural Mississippi. Anse is Addie's lazy husband. He fears sweating--it will bring about his death, so he avoids work that may cause him to sweat. Anse is preoccupied with three thoughts: his wife dying, her wish to be buried 40 miles from home, and money. Readers learn of the family's efforts over eight days or so to honor Addie's wish to be buried in another place. Addie wants to be buried next to her parents in Jefferson, about 40 miles from the rural area where she lives. The family is poor, so satisfying that request becomes a hardship. Hauling a coffin for 40 miles in a wagon is not easy. By the 8th day, the smell of her corpse in a wagon is terrible. A marshal of Mottson heaps scorn on the family due to that stench. The novel has 59 sections instead of conventional chapters. In each section, a single character tells what is going on, Darl having the most statements. Readers are given that person's unique perspective--a new writing technique! Faulkner builds upon what James Joyce did in Ulysses. Readers must make sense of the various sections without the help of a third-person narrator. There is no objective commentary. Perhaps "objectivity" is a myth anyway. The "truth" or reality of any event or series of events resides in various perspectives. What year? There are no references to movie stars, popular songs, political figures--nothing to help us determine the year. Lack of references to popular culture may be a weakness. Any author aiming for realism would cite a popular song or refer to a magazine or movie title, but Faulkner was no realist. The novel does ends with references to a "graphophone"--the name used by Columbia for its talking machines or phonographs (the Victor Talking Machine Company used "Victrola"). The machine is described as closing up like a suitcase. This type was known as a "portable" to hobbyists--suitcase models were popular in the 1920s. There is a reference to new records bought through the mail. I view it as 1929, the year Faulkner wrote most of the book (he finished it in January 1930). The "graphophone" in a portable style makes 1929 plausible. The action covers several days. Readers also learn much through flashbook. The novel begins with Addie Bundren in bed, dying. She had been a strong woman, controlling, willlful. Her oldest son is Cash, who is in his late 20s. He is a carpenter (hints of Jesus?) and is making her coffin, showing her the work for her approval. Addie wants to be certain that her coffin will be solid, well-constructed. So she examines Cash's work through a window. The youngest Bundren son is Vardaman (age 10?). He is dim, possibly retarded. Two sons in the middle are Darl and Jewel. Darl is sensitive and introspective. After he burns down a barn (with the coffin in the barn--he wants to end this trip in a wagon), he is taken to an asylum. The alternative would be a lawsuit that the family cannot afford. Jewel, raised as just another son, was the product of Addie having an affair with Reverend Whitfield. Violent and impulsive, Jewel is in his late teens (19?). It seems Jewel was Addie's favorite. Addie's daughter is Dewey Dell--only a teen ("17" she says, and her father also says he has fed her for 17 years). A man named Lafe impregnated her and then told Dewey to buy something at any drugstore to end the pregnancy. Dewey wants to acquire pills that will abort the child, stupidly agreeing to have sex with a drugstore clerk who promises to give the needed pills. That cad, MacGowan, takes advantage of her dire situation. When Dewey tried to acquire pills earlier in a different town, she was run out of the drugstore. The Tulls are neighbors. Vernon Tull is the man of the Tull household. Cora, Vernon's wife and a mother (the Tulls have daughters), visits Addie as the latter is dying and tries to give comfort. The trip to Jefferson is complicated because of broken wagon wheels, a bridge washed out, a second bridge washed out, drowned mules, and so on. Anse wants to visit Jefferson mainly to acquire false teeth. At the novel's end, he has a new wife who holds a graphophone. Darl is in a Jackson asylum, but the novel ends optimistically with a new mother in the family. Anse is excited to have a second chance at life. Cash has the novel's last word. He seems satisfied that his new step-mother owns a graphophone. Before meeting the new Mrs. Bundren, he confessed to readers, "I don't know if a little music ain't about the nicest thing a fellow can have."

Darl is in a Jackson asylum, but the novel ends optimistically with a new mother in the family. Anse is excited to have a second chance at life. Cash has the novel's last word. He seems satisfied that his new step-mother owns a graphophone. Before meeting the new Mrs. Bundren, he confessed to readers, "I don't know if a little music ain't about the nicest thing a fellow can have."

24. Faulkner, Light in August (continued)

Duration: 50:57
Updated: 05 Apr 2012

Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Faulkner (AMST 246) Professor Wai Chee Dimock focuses on the unresolved problem of race in Light in August, focusing her discussion on the variety of reflexive and calculated uses of the word "nigger" as a charged term toward Joe Christmas. She shows how the semantic burden of the word varies -- used under duress by Joe Brown and the dietician, deliberately made light of by Hightower and Bobbie, fused with the contrary meanings of Calvinist theology by Joanna Burden, and finally ironized by Joe Christmas himself. Dimock uses these multiple uses of the word "nigger" to meditate on the making of racial identities and our collective input into that process.

WILLIAM FAULKNER (CANCIÓN DE AMOR)

Duration: 9:58
Updated: 03 Jan 2015

William Faulkner nació el 25 de septiembre de 1897, en Mississippi, Estados Unidos, y fue un reconocido escritor que se destacó por sus obras ricas en drama psicológico y profundidad emocional, que lo llevaron a ganar el "Premio Nobel de Literatura" en el año 1949. Su Estado natal fue una fuerte influencia en la obra del escritor, pues en toda su obra dejó plasmado un sello sureño que, junto a la atemporalidad de los temas, le dio originalidad. En el año 1915, luego de abandonar los estudios, comenzó a trabajar en el banco de su abuelo, en donde no estuvo mucho tiempo, pues fue parte de la Real Fuerza Aérea Británica durante la Primer Guerra mundial, sirviendo como piloto. Una vez finalizado el conflicto bélico, regresó a su pueblo natal en donde ingresó como veterano en la Universidad de Mississippi, lugar del que fue echado al poco tiempo. En ese momento, escribió su único libro de poemas, llamado "The Marble Faun". En el año 1921 comenzó a trabajar como periodista en Nueva Orleans, en donde conoció a Sherwood Anderson, quien lo asesoró para comenzar a escribir sus propios libros, principalmente en cuestiones de edición. En la década de los 20´s, partió a Europa en donde conoció varios lugares y personas que lo acompañarán por el resto de su vida. En esa misma época, formó matrimonio con Estelle Oldham. En lo que respecta a su obra literaria, William Faulkner trató siempre sobre la corrupción y el mal que gobierna en los corazones de los mandatarios. Pero no solo escribió novelas, sino que también incursionó en el teatro, publicando una única obra llamada "Requiem for a Nun". Entre sus novelas más famosas se encuentran: "¡Absalón, Absalón!", "El ruido y la furia", "Mientras agonizo", "La paga de los soldados", "Las palmeras salvajes", "Requiem para una mujer", "La escapada o Los rateros" y "Banderas sobre el polvo", entre otras. Además, Faulkner fue el creador de varios relatos, entre los que se destacan: "Landing in Luck", "Mirrors of Chartres Street", "Damon and Pythias Unlimited", "Out of Nazareth", "The Kingdom of God", "The Kid Learns", "Yo Ho and Two Bottles of Rum", "Music - Sweeter than the Angels Sing", "All the Dead Pilots", "Lizards in Jamshyd's Courtyard", "There Was a Queen", "Pennsylvania Station", "Skirmish at Sartoris" y "Hand Upon the Waters". Otra de las incursiones que dieron que hablar de este escritor estadounidense, fueron sus guiones para cine, entre los que se pueden apreciar: "Today We Live", "The Road to Glory", "To Have and Have Not", "The Big Sleep", "Land of the Pharaohs" y "Gunga Din", entre otros. En el año 1949, fue condecorado con el "Premio Nobel de Literatura", además recibió premios como "National Book Award" y el "Premio Pulitzer" por su novela llamada "Una fábula". Luego de sus problemas con el alcohol, William Faulkner murió el 6 de julio de 1962, en su casa de Oxford. En la actualidad, es considerado como uno de los escritores más influyentes del siglo XX.

WILLIAM FAULKNER (¿Existe alguna fórmula que sea posible seguir para ser un buen novelista?)

Duration: 32:40
Updated: 04 Jan 2015

WILLIAM FAULKNER (1897-1962) William Faulkner nació el 25 de septiembre de 1897 en New Albany, Mississippi (Estados Unidos). Era nieto del militar, político y escritor William Cuthbert Faulkner, e hijo mayor de Murray Charles Faulkner y Maud Butler. En 1902 se trasladó a Oxford, población ubicada también en el estado de Mississippi, en donde dio inicio a su instrucción académica.
