2 Creative Quotations from William Faulkner (1897-1962) born Sep 25 US novelist; He wrote about a microcosm of the post-Civil War deep South in The Sound and the Fury, 1929.

3 A writer needs three things, experience, observation, and imagination, any two of which… can supply the lack of the others.

4 The end of wisdom is to dream high enough to lose the dream in the seeking of it.

5 If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate; the "Ode on a Grecian Urn" is worth any number of old ladies.

6 All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible.

7 People need trouble -- a little frustration to sharpen the spirit on, toughen it.
