Quiz
Director Howard Hawks related once how he took Faulkner and Clark Gable along with him on a hunting trip. Hawks was friends with both, but neither Faulkner nor Gable knew each other and Hawks didn't tell either one who the other was. During the trip the conversation turned to writers, and Gable asked Faulkner who he thought are the best writers. Faulkner replied, Willa Cather, Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, Thomas Mann and myself." Gable said, "Oh, do you write, Mr. Faulkner?" Faulkner replied, "Yes. And what do you do, Mr. Gable?".

Citazioni
Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all . . . Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.
