William Faulkner said this quote

She was bored. She loved, had capacity to love, for love, to give and accept love. Only she tried twice and failed twice to find somebody not just strong enough to deserve it, earn it, match it, but even brave enough to accept it.

~ William Faulkner

Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels, only when the clock stops does time come to life.

~ William Faulkner

I could just remember how my father used to say that the reason for living was to get ready to stay dead a long time.

~ William Faulkner

Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Do not bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.

~ William Faulkner
