Will Walker

Will Walker
William Walker may refer to:...
ordinary
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.
dog sleep men
Why is it that no other species but man gets bored? Under the circumstances in which a man gets bored, a dog goes to sleep.
people doubt growing
For some time now the impression has been growing upon me that everyone is dead. It happens when I speak to people. In the middle of a sentence it will come over me: yes, beyond a doubt this is death. There is little to do but groan and make an excuse and slip away as quickly as one can.
eye apology thinking
I am not ashamed to use the word class. I will also plead guilty to another charge. The charge is that people belonging to my class think they're better than other people. You're damn right we're better. We're better because we do not shirk our obligations either to ourselves or to others. . . .we live by our lights, we die by our lights, and whoever the high gods may be, we'll look them in the eye without apology.
morning simple islands
What is the nature of the search? you ask. Really it is very simple, at least for a fellow like me; so simple that it is easily overlooked. The search is what anyone would undertake if he were not sunk in the everydayness of his own life. This morning, for example, I felt as if I had come to myself on a strange island. And what does such a cast away do? Why he pokes around the neighborhood and he doesn't miss a trick. To become aware of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair.
ignorance appearance ifs
Ignorance, if recognized, is often more fruitful than the appearance of knowledge.
