The past is never dead. It's not even past. All of us labor in webs spun long before we were born, webs of heredity and environment, of desire and consequence, of history and eternity. Haunted by wrong turns and roads not taken, we pursue images perceived as new but whose providence dates to the dim dramas of childhood, which are themselves but ripples of consequence echoing down the generations. The quotidian demands of life distract from this resonance of images and events, but some of us feel it always.
William Faulkner said “You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.” This is my art based on that quote.

William Faulkner quote about betrayal from As I Lay Dying: “It was as though, so long as the deceit ran along quiet and monotonous, all of us let ourselves be deceived, abetting it unawares or maybe through cowardice, since all people are cowards and naturally prefer any kind of treachery because it has a bland outside.”
Make a statement with this powerful Faulkner quote which I hand typed on my 1962 Smith-Corona Galaxie vintage typewriter. And even better, the quote is typed onto your choice of a library book due date card. Nostalgia abounds! Perfect for your card or mixed media project, or even simply for framing or use as a special bookmark. The card measures roughly 3” x 5”. The standard card I use is an authentic new white library due date card, which is made of card stock (photos of the typed quote). You can also select other library card options indicated in the varieties field- swipe photos for available options. For an additional fee you can choose to have the card laminated by purchasing the laminate add-on (a separate listing in the shop). FREE GIFT with every purchase! One book pocket (design of my choosing) is included with your order. Additional pockets can be purchased- see the listing for “book pockets.” (Please note- ONE book pocket is included, no matter how many quote cards you order)
