William Saroyan
I always know a lie when I hear it, and the effect it has on me is no good at all.

William Saroyan
The mad also laugh, or is that what Freud and the others discovered perhaps, that only the mad laugh?
William Saroyan
I used to throw things out, saying, 'This isn't great.' It didn't occur to me that it didn't have to be great.
William Saroyan
There is little pride in writers. They know they are human and shall some day die and be forgotten. Knowing all this a writer is gentle and kindly where another man is severe and unkind.
William Saroyan
There could be no extreme vanity in my recognition of myself, if in fact there could be any at all.
William Saroyan
