“I decline to accept the end of man. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail.
He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.
It is his (the poet’s, the writer’s) privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet’s voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.”
—William Faulkner, from his Nobel Prize acceptance speech (Stockholm, Sweden, December 10, 1950)

"Just being yourself, being who you are, is a successful rebellion."
