William Walker may refer to:...
sadness joy turns
Joy and sadness come by turns.
fiction stories novel
A novel is what you call something that won't sell if you call it poems or short stories.
beautiful science simplicity
It is not merely the truth of science that makes it beautiful, but its simplicity.
time lying past
The mystery lies in the here and now. The mystery is: What is one to do with oneself? As you get older you begin to realize the trick time is playing, and that unless you do something about it, the passage of time is nothing but the encroachment of the horrible banality of the past on the pure future. The past devours the future like a tape recorder, converting pure possibility into banality. The present is the tape head, the mouth of time. Then where is the mystery and why bother kicking through the ashes? Because there is a clue in the past.
class categories
Classes? Categories? Was that what we had come to?

Consciously cultivate the ordinary.
sex writing thinking
I sometimes think novelists write about sex in order to avoid boring themselves to death.
art communication feelings
[In art] you are telling the reader or the listener or the viewer something he already knows but which he doesn't quite know that he knows, so that in the action of communication he experiences a recognition, a feeling that he has been there before, a shock of recognition.
beats south good-writers
Why has the South produced so many good writers? Because we got beat.
dog waiting tails
The so-called sexual revolution is not, as advertised, a liberation of sexual behavior but rather its reversal. In former days, even under Victoria, sexual intercourse was the natural end and culmination of heterosexual relations. Now one begins with genital overtures instead of a handshake, then waits to see what will turn up (e.g., might become friends later). Like dogs greeting each other nose to tail and tail to nose.
hate hatred honest
Maybe there are times when an honest hatred serves us better than love corrupted by sentimentality, meretriciousness, sententiousness, cuteness.
desire fields remains
Nothing remains but desire, and desire comes howling down Elysian Fields like a mistral.
knowing choices knowing-the-truth
If I had the choice of knowing the truth or searching for the truth, I'd take the search.
loss identity age
The present age is demented. It is possessed by a sense of dislocation, a loss of personal identity, an alternating sentimentality and rage which, in an individual patient, could be characterized as dementia.
