Faulkner sat in our living room and read from Light in August. That was incredible.
Leslie Fiedler
Faulkner turned out to be a great teacher. When a student asked a question ineptly, he answered the question with what the student had really wanted to know.
Leslie Fiedler
Faulkner was almost oriental. I never got into Faulkner.
Tom T. Hall
I like the beauty of Faulkner's poetry. But I don't like his themes, not at all.
Manuel Puig
I subscribe to William Faulkner's' view that history is not just about what we were before but who we are now.
Ken Burns
If you want to study writing, read Dickens. That's how to study writing, or Faulkner, or D.H. Lawrence, or John Keats. They can teach you everything you need to know about writing.
Shelby Foote
Mr. Faulkner, of course, is interested in making your mind rather than your flesh creep.
Cliff Fadiman
Of the female black authors, I really like Morrison's early books a lot. But she's really become so much a clone of Faulkner. He did it better.
Leslie Fiedler
Our most famous writers are Faulkner and Eudora Welty and Flannery O'Connor. It would make sense that the poetry would reflect some of those same values, some of the same techniques.
Robert Morgan
So I'm not a Southern writer in the commonly held sense of the term, like Faulkner or Eudora Welty, who took the South for their entire literary environment and subject matter.
