Smell Quotes by William Faulkner
All Smell quotes William Faulkner’s page
Faulkner’s prose can be dense, yet a handful of scent remarks cut straight to the core of his atmosphere. These eight quotes provide a concise taste of his ability to anchor narrative in smell.
![“And when Hightower approaches, the smell of plump unwashed flesh and unfresh clothing--that odor of unfastidious sedentation, of static overflesh not often enough bathed--is well nigh overpowering. [...] It is the odor of goodness. Of course it would smell bad to us that are bad and sinful.” quote by William Faulkner](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/6a3/william-faulkner-306_hygiene_and-when-hightower-approaches-the-smell_2128915.jpg)
