The quote is from the 1950's Nobel Prize acceptance speech. Faulkner is an American writer, who's most famous works are A Fable (1954) and his last novel The Reivers (1962.)
The quote from the speech is: "I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past."
