More quotes by William Saroyan
Every man in the world is better than someone else and not as good someone else.
William Saroyan
Cowards are nice, they're interesting, they're gentle, they wouldn't think of shooting down people in a parade from a tower. They want to live, so they can see their kids. They're very brave.
William Saroyan
I see life as one life at one time, so many millions simultaneously, all over the earth.
William Saroyan
The writer is a spiritual anarchist, as in the depth of his soul every man is. He is discontented with everything and everybody. The writer is everybody's best friend and only true enemy-the good and great enemy. He neither walks with the multitude nor cheers with them. The writer who is a writer is a rebel who never stops
William Saroyan
You may tend to get cancer from the thing that makes you want to smoke so much, not from the smoking itself.
William Saroyan
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
Everybody has got to die, but I have always believed an exception would be made in my case.
William Saroyan
The whole world and every human being in it is everybody's business.
William Saroyan
There could be no extreme vanity in my recognition of myself, if in fact there could be any at all.
William Saroyan
My work is writing, but my real work is being.
William Saroyan
We get very little wisdom from success, you know.
William Saroyan
I always know a lie when I hear it, and the effect it has on me is no good at all. I go berserk just forcing myself not to go berserk, just trying to see truth in the lie, to see it in full context, and in a dimension in which it has got to be more than just a lie, possibly the profoundest kind of truth.
William Saroyan
People is all everything is, all it has ever been, all it can ever be.
William Saroyan
My work has always been the product of my time.
William Saroyan
Art is what is irresistible.
William Saroyan
I sometimes think that rich men belong to another nationality entirely, no matter what their actual nationality happens to be. The nationality of the rich.
William Saroyan
Christmas is sights, especially the sights of Christmas reflected in the eyes of a child.
William Saroyan
The order I found was the order of disorder
William Saroyan
Each book can make a life or a fragment of it more beautiful.
William Saroyan
I have never received a telephone call that justified the excitement and fuss of the electronics involved. If I can't see somebody I love, for instance, such as a daughter, or a son, I would rather receive a letter.
William Saroyan
