William Faulkner (Writer)
It is my ambition to be, as a private individual, abolished and voided from history, leaving it markless, no refuse save the printed books; I wish I had enough sense to see ahead thirty years ago, and like some of the Elizabethans, not signed them. It is my aim, and every effort bent, that the sum and history of my life, which in the same sentence is my obit and epitaph too, shall be them both: He made the books and he died. — William Faulkner life If I had not existed, someone else would have written me, , , all of us. Proof of that is that there are about three candidates for the authorship ofplays. But what is important isand , not who wrote them, but that somebody did. The artist is of no importance. Only what he creates is important, since there is nothing new to be said. Shakespeare, ,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. — William Faulkner art
