Famous quotes containing the words faulkner and/or county:

“The artist is of no importance. Only what he creates is important, since there is nothing new to be said. Shakespeare, Balzac, Homer have all written about the same things, and if they had lived one thousand or two thousand years longer, the publishers wouldn’t have needed anyone since.”

“In the county there are thirty-seven churches
and no butcher shop. This could be taken
as a matter of all form and no content.”
