William Faulkner! What would your mother think?
Oh, my gosh. Maybe it's okay to take writing advice from William Faulkner, but I suspect he is NOT the person to go to for relationship advice...
"Success is feminine and like a woman; if you cringe before her, she will override you. So the way to treat her is to show her the back of your hand. Then maybe she will do the crawling."
Toootally found that in the Paris Review. He said some cool stuff about writing, but man. I followed it for the first sentence, but the second and third...
The interviewer completely changed the subject after that. I like to pretend that the interviewer was totally creeped out, and that he interrupted before Faulkner could say anything else about crawling women.
In a totally different interview (this time with The Western Review) he said:
"Women can stand anything. They are even tougher than evil itself. A man cannot stand what a woman can."
So... I want to be flattered with the first and third sentences, but tougher than evil itself? What does that mean?
Faulkner, Faulkner, Faulkner. What am I to do with you?
