I'm going to have to read this a third time, aren't I?

"Sometimes I think it ain’t none of us pure crazy and ain’t none of us pure sane until the balance of us talks him that-a-way. It’s like it ain’t so much what a fellow does, but it’s the way the majority of folks is looking at him when he does it."

"He will save me from the water and from the fire." Faulkner's really good at this whole foreshadowing thing. Now if only he thought to give the horse a name. . .

“How often have I lain beneath rain on a strange roof, thinking of home.”

"It takes two people to make you, and one people to die. That’s how the world is going to end."

"And Jewel don’t care about anything he is not kin to us in caring, not care-kin." Oh, Faulkner, you clever fox.
