man will prevail. People often look for the source of these words but fail to find it because the words are only part of the quotation. The full quote is “I believe that man will not only en- dure, but prevail,” and it is from William Faulkner’s acceptance speech when he won the 1950 Nobel Prize in literature. Faulkn- er’s work largely celebrates those who endure, including the old black servant Dilsey (in The Sound and The Fury), whose great strength counterpoints the weak, disintegrating family she serves. |
