William Saroyan

William Saroyan
Image
It is simply in the nature of Armenian to study, to learn, to question, to speculate, to discover, to invent, to revise, to restore, to preserve, to make, and to give.

Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.

Image
San Francisco itself is art, above all literary art. Every block is a short story, every hill a novel. Every home a poem, every dweller within immortal. That is the whole truth.
William Saroyan
Image
I see life as one life at one time, so many millions simultaneously, all over the earth.
William Saroyan
Image
People is all everything is, all it has ever been, all it can ever be.
William Saroyan
Image
Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
William Saroyan

My work is writing, but my real work is being.
