William Faulkner: People need trouble...

Vendor: NOVELISTS

People need trouble -- a little frustration to sharpen the spirit on, toughen it. Artists do; I don't mean you need to live in a rat hole or gutter, but you have to learn fortitude, endurance. Only vegetables are happy.

-- William Faulkner, (Sep 25 1897-1962), US novelist; He wrote about a microcosm of the post-Civil War deep South in The Sound and the Fury, 1929.
