William Faulkner on Romanticism

[muckefuck]

I don't think I can change me because the second time I ever saw you I learned what I had read in books but I never had actually believed: that love and suffering are the same thing and that the value of love is the sum of what you have to pay for it and anytime you get it cheap you have cheated yourself. (If I forget thee, Jerusalem, p. 41)

I'd rather the book were going into your reading stack!

I'll put it on my list. I've read woefully little Faulkner.

Yes, but I'm a DIASPORA Suthunuh.

You were in the Diaspora; now you're in Texas!

Texas is hardly the south. It's more like Mars.

The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care, right?
