Faulkner Work

Famous quotes containing the words faulkner and/or work:

    Maybe the only thing worse than having to give gratitude constantly ... is having to accept it.
    —William Faulkner (1897–1962)

    The most striking fault in work by young or beginning novelists, submitted for criticism, is irrelevance—due either to infatuation or indecision. To direct such an author’s attention to the imperative of relevance is certainly the most useful—and possibly the only—help that can be given.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
