William Faulkner
“...I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire...I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all of your breath trying to conquer it.

William Faulkner
“Perhaps they were right putting love into books. Perhaps it could not live anywhere else.”
