Love and Honor and Pity and Pride and Compassion and Sacrifice

My brother just pointed me to a post including an mp3 of my favorite speech ever: William Faulkner's 1949 Nobel Prize acceptance speech. I've written about it here before - way back when I first started the blog. It is very brief, but powerful and extremely memorable. I'd never actually heard it before, but listening to Faulkner say the words in his drawl is much cooler than just reading the speech in my 10th grade English book (though reading it is good, too).

To find the link, scroll down. Its just before the thing about Maroon 5 and Oasis. Naturally.
