William Saroyan
My work has always been the product of my time.
William Saroyan
All of the sudden, he said, I feel different-- not like I ever felt before. Even when Papa died I didn't feel this way. In two days everything is changed. I'm lonely and I don't now what I'm lonely for
William Saroyan
I never knew teachers are human beings like everybody else-- and better too!
William Saroyan
