With what is transpiring in Israel, this quote seemed very apropos. Two peoples, both feeling they have legitimate claims to sole ownership of the same piece of terra firma. One through living there for millennium, the other through Biblical scripture.

“The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” ~~William Faulkner

“I’m a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can’t and then tries the short story which is the most demanding form after poetry. And failing that, only then does he take up novel writing.” ~~ William Faulkner
“Let the writer take up surgery or bricklaying if he is interested in technique. There is no mechanical way to get the writing done, no shortcut. The young writer would be a fool to follow a theory. Teach yourself by your own mistakes; people learn only by error. The good artist believes that nobody is good enough to give him advice. He has supreme vanity. No matter how much he admires the old writer, he wants to beat him.” ~ William Faulkner
