William Walker may refer to:...
fighting men victory
In this world goodness is destined to be defeated. But a man must go down fighting. That is the victory. To do anything less is to be less than a man.
beer despair drink
I like to eat crawfish and drink beer. That's despair?
fiction knows
Fiction doesn’t tell us something we don’t know, it tells us something we know but don’t know that we know.
wander diversion
Before, I wandered as a diversion. Now I wander seriously and sit and read as a diversion.
self peculiar cosmos
One of the peculiar ironies of being a human self in the Cosmos: A stranger approaching you in the street will in a second's glance see you whole, size you up, place you in a way in which you cannot and never will, even though you have spent a lifetime with yourself, live in the Century of the Self, and therefore ought to know yourself best of all.
hymns waiting catholic
Jews wait for the Lord, Protestants sing hymns to him, Catholics say mass and eat him.
cake alcohol pieces
Bourbon does for me what the piece of cake did for Proust.
uncles writing wind
I don't like to be described as a Southern writer. The danger is, if you're described as a Southern writer, you might be thought of as someone who writes about a picturesque local scene like Uncle Tom's Cabin, Gone With the Wind, something like that.
old-neighborhood emptiness shows
Nowadays when a person lives somewhere, in a neighborhood, the place is not certified for him. More than likely he will live there sadly and the emptiness which is inside him will expand until it evacuates the entire neighborhood. But if he sees a movie which shows his very neighborhood, it becomes possible for him to live, for a time at least, as a person who is Somewhere and not Anywhere.
suicide morning past
The difference between a non-suicide and an ex-suicide leaving the house for work, at eight o'clock on an ordinary morning: The non-suicide is a little traveling suck of care, sucking care with him from the past and being sucked toward care in the future. His breath is high in his chest. The ex-suicide opens his front door, sits down on the steps, and laughs. Since he has the option of being dead, he has nothing to lose by being alive. It is good to be alive. He goes to work because he doesn't have to.
way facts becoming
Small disconnected facts, if you take note of them, have a way of becoming connected.
ignorance appearance ifs
Ignorance, if recognized, is often more fruitful than the appearance of knowledge.
helping-others men brain
Lord, grant that my work increase knowledge and help other men. Failing that, Lord, grant that it will not lead to man’s destruction. Failing that, Lord, grant that my article in Brain be published before the destruction takes place.
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.
